UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Fox Grove School under its SEND transport requirement. The service involves transporting four pupils, with one passenger assistant, using a large multi-purpose vehicle. The pupils live in the KT11 and KT14 postcode areas, so the operational requirement is for school-related transport connecting those areas with Fox Grove School. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority, and the requirement is focused on delivering safe, regular transport for children with special educational needs and disabilities. The relevant classification is CPV 60000000, covering transport services other than waste transport.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected STL for the single requirement. The award is active and the contract has been signed. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with a gross value of £171,000. It is a services contract operated under the light-touch regime. The award covers the full Fox Grove School transport requirement, including the four pupils, one passenger assistant and large MPV specified for the service. The recorded contract period and value relate to this awarded requirement only; there are no separate awarded lots or suppliers to distinguish.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for dedicated SEND school transport, combining passenger carrying capacity with the provision of a passenger assistant and use of a large MPV. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be established passenger transport operators able to provide a suitable large vehicle and coordinate regular journeys for a small group of pupils. Credibility for Surrey County Council would come from demonstrating the practical capacity to serve the KT11 and KT14 areas, maintain dependable school transport operations, and provide the specified staffing arrangement alongside the vehicle. The award also indicates that the council uses below-threshold limited competition for this type of focused transport requirement, making clear, targeted responses relevant to similar future requirements from this buyer.
