Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport services for six pupils attending Landon School under its special educational needs and disabilities transport provision. The route serves four passengers from Staines and two from Egham. It requires a large multi-purpose vehicle, together with a passenger assistant who has awareness of EpiPen use. The work is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement, and is delivered through journeys connecting Staines and Egham with Landon School. Businesses whose core capability is accessible or assisted school transport, particularly operators able to provide larger vehicles and suitably trained passenger assistants, are the relevant market for this requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to STL. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 18 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £124,821.43 including the published gross value, for one completed lot covering the Landon School route. The awarded contract is active. The published outcome identifies STL as the selected supplier; the procurement record does not set out an award scoring method or comparative evaluation weighting.

This outcome demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist school transport serving pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, rather than general passenger carriage. A credible future competitor would need to operate a large multi-purpose vehicle capable of carrying six passengers on the required route, including collections from both Staines and Egham. It would also need to provide a passenger assistant for the journey, with awareness of EpiPen use as a safety requirement. Relevant strengths include reliable route planning, safeguarding-focused passenger care, dependable school transport operations and the ability to coordinate drivers and passenger assistants for a dedicated education route. Providers already delivering assisted or SEND transport for local authorities are likely to understand this operating environment.
