Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities under its Client Transport Services programme. This requirement covered Sherwood Hill Campus, with two students travelling from Banstead and Tadworth to the school in Carshalton. The service is a passenger transport operation using a saloon car, with no passenger assistant required. The stated journey mileage is 12.06 miles. The relevant service category is transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000). The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, and the work concerns transporting pupils between their homes in the Banstead and Tadworth area and Sherwood Hill Campus in Carshalton.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot covered the requirement. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to STL for £21,407.14 gross, with the award recorded as active. The award date and contract signing date were 13 August 2026. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The process used the light-touch regime and a limited procurement method. The published information identifies the service category and route requirement, while the award confirms STL as the selected supplier. This is an awarded outcome rather than an opportunity to submit a bid for the stated requirement.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dependable, small-scale SEND school transport delivered by a commercial passenger transport operator. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have access to suitable saloon vehicles, the capacity to provide consistent scheduled journeys for a small number of pupils, and the operational discipline needed for school-term transport. Local knowledge of routes between Banstead, Tadworth and Carshalton would support credible delivery, alongside robust safeguarding, passenger-care and vehicle-compliance arrangements appropriate to transporting children with additional needs. Although this requirement did not need a passenger assistant, a supplier should be able to accommodate any supervision or accessibility requirements specified in future routes and demonstrate reliable attendance, communication and contingency cover.
