UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for three students with special educational needs and disabilities, under the Client Transport Services 2026–2034 programme. The requirement is for a saloon car with four passenger seats and no passenger assistant. The service transports one student from Ashford and two students from Walton-on-Thames to Wickham Park School in West Wickham, with return journeys forming part of the school transport requirement. This is a passenger transport service for a small, defined route supporting access to education. The council is the buying organisation, and delivery involves collecting students in Ashford and Walton-on-Thames and transporting them to West Wickham in Surrey and the surrounding area.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It had one lot, covering the described school transport route. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to STL, trading from Woking, on 27 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £121,600 gross, including applicable taxes. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procedure. The selected supplier is STL, and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies transport services as the procurement category; no separate quality, price or other scoring basis is stated in the award information.

This outcome indicates demand for dependable, small-scale contracted school transport serving children with special educational needs and disabilities. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a suitable four-passenger-seat saloon, reliably cover scheduled collections from Ashford and Walton-on-Thames, and deliver students to Wickham Park School in West Wickham. Operational capability should include consistent route planning, punctual daily service, safe transport of school-age passengers and effective communication with the council and school. Local knowledge of the Surrey route and the ability to sustain service throughout the school term would be commercially relevant. The awarded supplier was a large business, showing that the council has used a formal supplier for this defined transport operation.
