UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel. The requirement covers one passenger travelling to Overworld with a passenger assistant, using a saloon car, between Camberley and Farnham on Mondays and Tuesdays. The work is a local, scheduled passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply or general fleet provision. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, and the service is associated with locations in Surrey, including Camberley, Farnham and Woking. The relevant service category is passenger transport services, CPV 60000000. Suppliers suited to this requirement would provide reliable journeys for a SEND passenger, a suitable saloon vehicle and an appropriate passenger-assistance service for the specified route and weekly schedule.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. STL was awarded the contract on 19 August 2026. The contract is active, signed on the same date, and runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £15,651.43 gross. There was one completed lot covering the passenger transport requirement. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procedure. The published description identifies travel twice a week on Mondays and Tuesdays, with a passenger assistant and saloon vehicle, but does not set out an evaluation weighting or scoring basis. The selected supplier is STL, based in Woking. The award relates to the complete passenger transport service for the specified SEND journey.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for small-scale, scheduled SEND passenger transport delivered on a defined local route. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need dependable operational coverage between Camberley and Farnham, a suitable saloon vehicle, and the ability to provide a passenger assistant for an individual passenger. Reliability on fixed weekdays is central to the service, so suppliers would need robust scheduling, contingency arrangements and consistent driver and passenger-support provision. The work is suited to an established passenger transport operator able to manage safeguarding-sensitive journeys and coordinate regular school or education-related travel. STL’s award also indicates that the council uses a below-threshold limited competition route for this kind of local transport service.
