UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers transport for two pupils, one personal assistant and one small multi-purpose vehicle. The named route connects Linden Bridge and Godstone with Worcester Park, indicating a pupil-transport service involving those locations. The procurement is for services rather than vehicles or infrastructure, and is part of the council’s client transport provision. A supplier operating SEND or assisted passenger transport services, with suitable vehicles and the ability to provide safe, reliable journeys for pupils and accompanying staff, would be aligned with this requirement. The work is delivered for Surrey County Council in Surrey, with the stated service locations in Godstone and Worcester Park.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected STL, and the contract was signed on 14 August 2026. The award date is not separately stated, but the contract is active. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is valued at £51,139.29 gross. It covers transport services under the light-touch regime. One service requirement was awarded, covering the SEND transport described for Linden Bridge, Godstone and Worcester Park. Evaluation details published for this process do not set out a separate scoring basis or award weighting. The successful supplier is STL, a Woking-based transport business. This is a completed award rather than an invitation to submit a bid.

This award is a useful market signal for transport operators serving Surrey’s SEND community. A credible future competitor would need experience transporting children or vulnerable passengers, dependable small MPV availability and the operational capacity to carry two pupils with a personal assistant on the required journey pattern. Route planning, punctuality, safeguarding-focused working practices and appropriate passenger assistance would be central to delivering this type of service. Providers based in or able to work reliably around Woking, Godstone and Worcester Park may be well placed, particularly where they can maintain continuity across the school service period. The limited-competition route also shows that smaller, focused transport requirements can be procured directly from a defined field of suppliers rather than through a large open tender.
