UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport for enhanced-needs passengers under Lot 2. The requirement is for taxi or multi-purpose vehicle services carrying between one and eight passenger seats, with wheelchair accessibility and a passenger assistant. The service is intended to transport children who require enhanced support, combining vehicle accessibility with appropriate passenger assistance. The procurement is for transport services, covering the operation of suitable vehicles and the associated provision needed to convey passengers safely. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation. The selected supplier, STL, is based in Woking, Surrey, linking the awarded service to a local transport operator. The wider programme is titled Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – Child Mainstream.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was awarded to STL on 18 September 2026 and signed on the same date. The contract is active and runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £33,535.71. The procurement used the light-touch regime and covered one completed lot for wheelchair-accessible taxi or MPV transport with a passenger assistant. The award relates to transport services. The published outcome identifies STL as the selected supplier. This was a limited competition rather than an open procedure, so the route used was a targeted process for a below-threshold requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for specialist child transport that combines mainstream journey provision with enhanced-needs support. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need access to taxi or MPV vehicles seating up to eight passengers, including wheelchair-accessible vehicles, and the ability to provide a passenger assistant. Operational capability would need to support the safe, reliable transport of children with additional needs, with suitable staff and vehicles coordinated around council requirements. Suppliers with experience in accessible passenger transport, child transport and assisted journeys would be well placed to compete. The award also shows that the council uses a below-threshold limited-competition route for this type of service, making relevant local transport operators potential participants when similar requirements return.
