## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport for two students with special educational needs travelling to the Merrist Wood – Woodlands Centre in Guildford from Farnham and Hindhead. The service requires a large multi-purpose vehicle because both students use harnesses and need the additional space. A passenger assistant is also required. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle-only hire: the provider must support the students’ journey and accommodate the specified safety equipment. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority based in Reigate. The delivery route connects Farnham and Hindhead with the education centre in Guildford, so suppliers need to be able to operate across these locations and provide suitable SEND client transport.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to STL following a below-threshold limited competition. It covered one lot. The award was made on 31 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £55,896.43 including tax. The contract is active, while the tender is recorded as complete. Surrey County Council used the light-touch regime and a limited procurement method. The selected supplier is STL. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process; the published data does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or additional award criteria.

This award indicates established demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND transport linking local homes with specialist education provision. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be able to provide a large MPV, safely accommodate two passengers who use harnesses, and supply a passenger assistant as part of the service. Relevant operational strength includes dependable scheduled passenger transport between Farnham, Hindhead and Guildford, experience supporting young people with special educational needs, and the capacity to manage journeys where vehicle space and passenger assistance are essential. STL is recorded as a large supplier, showing that the council has used a transport provider with the organisational capacity to deliver this defined route and service specification through a limited competition.
