Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured a client transport service for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) passenger. The requirement was for one passenger travelling solo between Addlestone and Shepperton, with a passenger assistant and a saloon car, for travel into Manor Mead. The service is classified as transport services. This is a direct, individual passenger journey rather than a general bus, fleet or group transport requirement. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The selected provider, STL, is based in Woking. The operational requirement therefore centres on delivering a managed assisted journey between the named Surrey locations, with the specified vehicle and passenger-support arrangement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. STL was awarded the single requirement. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and has an active status. Its value is £39,128.57 including gross value, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Evaluation and award information is recorded at the overall procurement level, with the award relating to the one completed requirement for solo SEND transport into Manor Mead. The award covers the transport service provided by STL for this passenger journey and associated passenger-assistant provision.

For a competing supplier, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for assisted SEND passenger transport on a local authority journey between Addlestone and Shepperton. A credible provider for a future requirement of this kind would need to deliver a solo passenger journey, provide a passenger assistant, and supply a suitable saloon car rather than relying on shared or large-vehicle transport. The work is route-specific and operationally focused: suppliers would need to organise reliable transport between the named locations and support travel into Manor Mead. STL’s selection also shows that Surrey County Council uses a below-threshold limited competition route for this type of service, giving relevant local transport operators a clear example of the buyer’s purchasing approach and service scale.
