UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for two pupils with special educational needs travelling to and from Meadhurst Primary School. The requirement is for a saloon vehicle, including one high-back booster seat. The service involves collection and return journeys, with one pupil using an agreed alternative address on some journeys. The recorded daily mileage varies by route, ranging from 14.7 to 22.65 miles. The work is based around Meadhurst Primary School and the pupils’ specified addresses, with Surrey County Council as the buying organisation. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle hire, requiring reliable school-related journeys and appropriate arrangements for children with additional needs.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to STL following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its awarded value is £29,137.50 including tax. One lot was awarded, covering the full transport requirement. The award concerns transport services and the procurement was conducted under the light-touch regime. The published outcome identifies STL as the selected supplier. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available procurement record does not set out separate quality, price or scoring weightings. The contract is below the applicable threshold.

This contract demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated school transport for pupils with special educational needs, delivered through a small, clearly defined route. A credible future supplier would need experience in passenger transport, dependable saloon-car operations and the capacity to provide scheduled school journeys throughout the week. The requirement also calls for careful handling of different collection arrangements, including an alternative address used on specified journeys, and the ability to manage varying daily mileage. Drivers and operators would need to provide safe, consistent service for children, including use of a high-back booster seat. Suppliers able to combine reliable scheduling, safeguarding awareness and flexible route management would be well placed for comparable work from this buyer.
