UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service supports travel to and from West Heath School, with the route involving Great Bookham and Sevenoaks. The requirement covers two pupils, with one saloon car and no passenger assistant. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction requirement. The appointed provider is based in Redhill, while the work relates to transporting pupils between their locations and the school. Businesses relevant to this requirement are operators able to provide reliable, appropriate transport for SEND pupils using a saloon car, with the operational capacity to cover the specified journey and passenger numbers.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award date was 16 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £3,759,643 gross, in GBP. The award covers one service requirement and the contract is active. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published information identifies the service category as transport services. No cancellation or termination is recorded. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Redhill.

This award demonstrates a substantial requirement for specialist SEND pupil transport from Surrey County Council, delivered through a focused limited-competition route rather than an open procedure. A credible competing supplier would need dependable passenger transport operations, a suitable saloon car and capacity for two pupils on the specified school journey involving Great Bookham, Sevenoaks and West Heath School. The requirement is concentrated enough to suit a smaller operator, while the awarded scale indicates that suppliers should assess their ability to sustain service delivery and meet school transport expectations over the contract term. Businesses with established local coverage, reliable scheduling and experience carrying pupils with SEND would be well placed when this buyer next tests the requirement.
