UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured dedicated transport services for Fox Grove school’s special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils. The requirement covers transport for three pupils, with one personal assistant travelling for the Harmony service, using a medium-sized passenger vehicle with seven seats. The pupils live in the KT15 postcode area, so the service is centred on journeys serving that area and Fox Grove school. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general fleet contract. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer, based in Reigate. Businesses operating suitable school or assisted passenger transport services, particularly those able to provide vehicles and passenger support for a small, defined school route, are the closest fit.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. STL was awarded the single lot for transport services. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026, starts on 1 September 2026 and ends on 31 July 2029. Its value is £159,600 gross. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was handled under the light-touch regime. The available procurement information identifies the service scope and selected supplier, but does not set out a separate weighting for price, quality or other evaluation factors. This outcome shows that Surrey County Council used a focused competition for a defined SEND transport requirement, rather than an open, multi-lot market exercise.

This procurement is commercially relevant to operators providing SEND or assisted school transport, especially businesses with access to a seven-seat medium passenger vehicle and the ability to carry three pupils on a dedicated school service. A credible competitor would need to organise reliable journeys between the pupils’ homes in the KT15 area and Fox Grove school, and provide a personal assistant for the Harmony service. The awarded supplier is a large transport business, indicating that the requirement can suit an established operator with sufficient operational capacity for a regular school transport service. The opportunity also demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for tightly defined passenger transport arrangements, so firms with comparable school-route delivery experience and suitable vehicle capacity would be best placed when assessing similar requirements from this buyer.
