UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for SEND school travel between Hindhead and Chichester College (Brinsbury) in Pulborough. The requirement covers transport for one student, with no personal assistant, using one saloon car with four passenger seats. The service is therefore a dedicated or very small-scale education transport operation rather than a wider fleet or passenger transport contract. The journey involves collecting the student in Hindhead and transporting them to the college in Pulborough. The procurement falls within transport services and is subject to the light-touch regime. It is relevant to operators providing scheduled school journeys, contracted passenger transport, or specialist individual transport for education and local authority clients in Surrey.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected STL for the single transport requirement. The award was made on 4 September 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £21,942.86. The published outcome records the award as active and the contract as active. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open tender. The available procurement information identifies the service specification and route, but does not set out a separate price, quality or scoring breakdown. The outcome therefore shows a focused, below-threshold school transport purchase awarded to one supplier.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the requirement indicates a market for small, route-specific SEND education transport commissioned by Surrey County Council. A credible competitor would need to provide a suitable four-seat saloon, organise dependable collection and delivery between Hindhead and Pulborough, and operate a service capable of meeting a single student’s school timetable. The modest operational scale suits an established local transport operator as well as a larger business able to dedicate a vehicle and driver to an individual education journey. Experience of local-authority or school transport requirements, reliable service planning and the ability to handle below-threshold limited competitions would strengthen a future response to this buyer’s comparable need.
