UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils travelling to Sunnydown School in Caterham. The service covers journeys from Redhill, Chaldon and Caterham, with four pupils transported in a small multi-purpose vehicle. No passenger assistant is required. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, school operation or general haulage. The delivery area is centred on Caterham and the surrounding Surrey locations named in the requirement. The council is the public-sector buyer, and the service is intended to support regular school travel for the identified pupils.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used the limited procurement method under the light-touch regime. The sole award went to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd. The contract was signed on 24 July 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £2,438,036 including applicable taxes, in a single lot. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process; the published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the contracted transport service for the Sunnydown School route.

This award demonstrates a defined local market for specialist school transport serving SEND pupils in Surrey. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have reliable small MPV capacity, the operational ability to provide regular journeys between Redhill, Chaldon, Caterham and Sunnydown School, and suitable arrangements for transporting four pupils without a passenger assistant. Credibility would also come from dependable scheduling, safeguarding-aware passenger handling, vehicle availability and the ability to deliver a consistent service throughout the school transport cycle. A competitor should understand the council’s preference for a focused route-based service delivered by a local small or medium-sized transport operator.
