UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school passenger transport services for two pupils with special educational needs and disabilities travelling to Freemantles Secondary School. The requirement covers a route using a medium MPV with seven or eight seats, with a personal assistant allocated for the journey. The service is a passenger transport operation rather than a vehicle or equipment supply, and the procurement states that no equipment is needed. Delivery is centred on journeys to Freemantles Secondary School in Surrey, with the awarded supplier based in Woking. The relevant business category is passenger transport services, classified under CPV 60000000. This requirement forms part of Surrey County Council’s client transport provision for SEND pupils.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Surrey County Council awarded the single requirement to STL on 6 August 2026. The award is active and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, with an awarded value of £10,734,643 gross, including the stated currency of GBP. One supplier and one lot were involved. The available procurement information identifies the limited competition route, but does not set out an award weighting or evaluation formula. The contract is active, rather than cancelled or terminated, and the tender itself is recorded as complete.

This outcome indicates demand from Surrey County Council for structured SEND passenger transport linking pupils with Freemantles Secondary School. A credible future competitor would need to operate a suitable seven- or eight-seat medium MPV, organise dependable school-route journeys, and support the travel needs of two pupils. The requirement also points to the importance of providing or coordinating an allocated personal assistant as part of the transport arrangement. Relevant capability is therefore likely to combine accessible, safe and reliable passenger transport operations with appropriate staff planning and day-to-day route management. Businesses with experience of council-funded school transport, SEND journeys and working with passenger assistants would be well placed to assess similar requirements from this buyer.
