UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils. The requirement covers transport to and from Worplesdon Primary School, including one pupil travelling from West Byfleet. The service requires a saloon car for one pupil on the route and a passenger assistant to support a pupil who may need an EpiPen because of allergies. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. Delivery is associated with Worplesdon Primary School and the journey from West Byfleet. The requirement is focused on safe, assisted school transport for a very small number of pupils, rather than general fleet, bus or standard taxi provision. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation and the service sits within its local authority responsibilities.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to STL. The award was made on 13 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £35,678.57 gross, including any applicable taxes. The contract is active. Evaluation was conducted through the limited competition route; the available award information does not set out separate quality or price weightings. This outcome relates to the single SEND client transport requirement described above, and the awarded supplier is STL, based in Woking. The process is below the relevant threshold.

This requirement is relevant to established school transport operators, specialist taxi providers and assisted passenger transport businesses able to deliver reliable one-pupil journeys in a saloon car. A credible competitor would need to provide a suitable vehicle, dependable route planning and punctual daily transport linked to a primary school and West Byfleet. It would also need passenger-assistance capability for a child with allergies who may require support with an EpiPen, with staff able to follow the relevant care and safety arrangements. The small route size means operational control, continuity and safeguarding are likely to matter as much as fleet scale. Surrey County Council’s use of a below-threshold limited competition shows a route suited to suppliers that can demonstrate focused local coverage and the practical capacity to support SEND transport safely.
