UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel. The requirement covers a dedicated route for one pupil and a personal assistant travelling in a medium MPV to Hillingdon Manor School, Harlington Road, Uxbridge, UB8 3HD. The journey starts from Shepperton. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle supply or school transport framework. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local public authority. The procurement sits within the council’s client transport provision and concerns the practical delivery of a specific school journey for a pupil accompanied by a personal assistant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. STL was selected as supplier on 17 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its gross value is £107,346.43, including the stated contract amount, in GBP. The award covers the single specified transport requirement: one route for one pupil and a personal assistant. The process used a limited rather than open procedure, so the outcome reflects a competition among invited or otherwise limited participants. The tender title identifies the wider service period as 2026–2034, while the awarded contract period runs to July 2028.

This procurement evidences recurring demand from Surrey County Council for tightly specified SEND passenger transport rather than high-volume fleet operations. Suppliers best placed for a comparable requirement would have the operational capacity to provide a medium MPV, plan and maintain a reliable journey from Shepperton to Hillingdon Manor School in Uxbridge, and carry one pupil alongside a personal assistant. Relevant experience would include managing individual education-related passenger routes, coordinating school-day travel and delivering consistent client transport against a council specification. The limited-competition route also indicates that suppliers need to be visible to the council and credible for targeted, below-threshold opportunities, with a focused service proposition suited to single-route requirements.
