Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel to the BRIT School in Croydon. The requirement covers transport for one pupil who lives in the KT8 postcode area, using a saloon vehicle. The work is passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or general logistics, and involves providing the specified journey associated with the pupil’s travel to school. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority based in Reigate. The service location is defined by the BRIT School in Croydon and the pupil’s home area in KT8. The relevant classification is CPV 60000000, transport services excluding waste transport.

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 is active and relates to one completed lot. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £64,907.14 including tax. The selected supplier is STL. The published outcome confirms that the requirement was evaluated through a limited competition, but does not set out detailed award criteria. This is an awarded service contract, rather than an opportunity still progressing through supplier selection.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist school transport: one pupil, a saloon vehicle and travel involving a home in the KT8 postcode area and the BRIT School in Croydon. Competitors seeking comparable work for Surrey County Council would need to provide passenger transport reliably for SEND journeys and have suitable saloon-vehicle capacity for an individual pupil. The relevant market is local or regional operators able to cover the route between the pupil’s home area and Croydon, rather than general freight or fleet-supply businesses. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold limited competition also indicates a route suited to established operators able to respond to tightly scoped transport requirements.
