UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), serving The Park School in Woking. The requirement is a weekday route for three pupils: one from Normandy, Guildford, and two from Woking, with the possibility of an additional Woking pupil following assessment. The service uses a medium multi-purpose vehicle with seven seats and includes a passenger assistant for a pupil with epilepsy. The passenger assistant must have seizure-awareness knowledge and be able to follow the 999 emergency protocol. The work is a local passenger transport service involving regular pupil journeys between their homes and school, with safeguarding, reliability and appropriate support for children central to delivery.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to STL by Surrey County Council. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot. The award was made on 11 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £143,370 gross. The selected supplier is STL, based in Woking. The procurement was for services, with transport services as the relevant classification. The published requirement describes weekday operation using a medium seven-seater vehicle and a passenger assistant, including support for epilepsy and seizure-awareness procedures. The award is active and the contract is active.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from Surrey County Council for specialist SEND transport delivered on a defined school route. A credible future competitor would need access to a suitable medium seven-seat MPV, dependable weekday operating capacity and the ability to provide a trained passenger assistant alongside the driver. Relevant capability includes transporting children safely between Guildford-area and Woking homes and The Park School, managing regular routes, and responding appropriately to a pupil with epilepsy. Experience in assisted passenger transport, SEND or school transport, safeguarding and route reliability would strengthen a supplier’s position. Operators able to combine vehicle availability, appropriately trained staff and responsive coordination for possible route changes would be well placed for this buyer’s requirement.
