UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for SEND pupils attending The Park School in Guildford. The service covers one pupil travelling from Normandy, Guildford, and four pupils travelling from Woking. Journeys are required from Monday to Friday, using a large eight-seat MPV. The service also includes a passenger assistant for epilepsy support, with 999 protocol and seizure-awareness capability. The route serves the school postcode GU22 7AT and begins in September 2026. This is a passenger transport service focused on safe, reliable daily travel for children with special educational needs and disabilities, rather than general public transport or standard school bus provision. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, with delivery centred on the journeys between the named Surrey communities and The Park School.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to STL through a below-threshold limited competition. It was conducted under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot. The award was made on 19 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £157,403.57 gross. The selected supplier is responsible for the specified SEND transport service, including the large eight-seat MPV and passenger assistant arrangement. The award is active and the contract is active. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition. The contract period covers the school-route requirement through the 2026/27, 2027/28 and 2028/29 school years.

This requirement demonstrates demand for dependable specialist pupil transport in Surrey, combining vehicle provision with trained passenger-assistant support for epilepsy-related needs. A credible future competitor would need access to a large eight-seat MPV, the operational capacity to provide weekday journeys for five pupils, and the ability to plan dependable routes serving Normandy, Guildford and Woking. Staff capability in 999 emergency procedures and seizure awareness would be central to safe delivery, alongside suitable arrangements for supporting children with SEND. Experience coordinating school transport, managing recurring daily journeys and maintaining reliable attendance at The Park School would strengthen a supplier’s position. The award also shows that Surrey County Council uses a below-threshold limited competition route for this type of focused transport requirement.
