UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) passengers. The requirement covers transport for five pupils, with one passenger assistant for the Harmony service, using a large multi-purpose vehicle. The named destinations are Westerham and Lingfield, placing delivery within Surrey and the surrounding local area. The procurement is categorised as transport services, covering passenger transport rather than vehicle supply or general logistics. It was arranged by Surrey County Council as the public-sector buyer, for its SEND transport needs. The requirement is therefore relevant to operators able to provide larger passenger vehicles, reliable pupil transport and suitable passenger-assistance support on the specified routes.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, with an award date of 16 July 2026. The active contract was signed on 16 July 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £5,201,429 gross. The procedure was conducted under the light-touch regime. The award covers the transport-services requirement for five pupils, one passenger assistant for Harmony, and a large MPV serving Westerham and Lingfield. The outcome records a single selected supplier and an active contract for the stated SEND transport service.

This award demonstrates established demand from Surrey County Council for sizeable, structured SEND passenger-transport operations rather than occasional private-hire work. A credible competitor would need to operate a large MPV, transport five pupils safely and reliably, and provide a passenger assistant for the Harmony service. Practical capability on the Westerham and Lingfield routes would be important, alongside dependable scheduling, safeguarding-conscious passenger care and the capacity to support a council-managed education transport service. The award to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, identified as an SME, indicates that a smaller specialist operator can satisfy this type of requirement. Businesses with comparable local coverage, accessible operational management and suitable staff resources can use this contract as a clear benchmark for future Surrey SEND transport opportunities.
