Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Surrey County Council, located at County Hall in Kingston upon Thames, UK, focuses on the provision of "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND." This procurement is in the services category and involves transport services for five special education needs students, including the requirement of vehicles that can accommodate a Houdini Harness. The tender was conducted using a limited competition method under a light-touch regime, suitable for procurements below certain financial thresholds. Surrey County Council has completed the award stage, selecting Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd as the supplier. The contract, valued at £463,893, covers a period from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2027, with the award officially signed on 16th June 2026.

This tender presents opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) involved in the transport sector, specifically those providing specialised vehicles capable of catering to students with special education needs. Such businesses can leverage this opportunity to anchor their presence in the public transport services market, particularly those based in or around the region of Redhill, which is part of the supplier's local area. Securing similar contracts with public authorities can help these businesses expand their client base and enhance their service offerings within this niche yet essential industry. Such procurement engagements also open pathways for fostering relationships with public sector bodies like Surrey County Council, promoting long-term business growth.
