UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is standard transport provided by taxis or multi-purpose vehicles carrying between one and eight passengers. It falls within the broad category of passenger transport services, covering the operation of vehicles to transport clients rather than the supply of vehicles themselves. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council. The named successful supplier, STL, is based in Woking. The requirement concerns a single service lot and is focused on regular, passenger-facing transport for SEND clients. Businesses relevant to this requirement are therefore likely to be taxi, MPV or specialist passenger transport operators with the operational ability to provide safe and reliable journeys for this client group.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected STL as the supplier for the single standard transport lot. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026 and is active, with a service period from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £24,571.43, including the published gross value, in total for the awarded service. The award covers transport services for SEND clients using taxis or MPVs with one to eight passenger seats. The procurement used a light-touch regime and a limited procurement method. The award is recorded as active and the tender as complete, so this is an outcome from an concluded procurement rather than an opportunity to submit a tender.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of Surrey County Council’s demand for SEND client transport delivered through small passenger vehicles. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate taxis or MPVs with capacity for one to eight passengers and be able to provide dependable, passenger-focused transport. Experience of transporting children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities would be commercially relevant, alongside the people, vehicles and operating processes needed for safe and consistent journeys. The successful supplier was STL, a large organisation based in Woking, indicating that the buyer accepted a dedicated transport provider for this service. Suppliers should be prepared to compete through a limited, below-threshold route for comparable council transport requirements.
