UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council is buying client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement covers transport for four pupils travelling from Reigate and Redhill to Sunnydown in Caterham. The service is described as a small MPV operation with no passenger assistant required. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract or general taxi requirement. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, based at County Hall in Kingston upon Thames. Businesses suited to this work would provide local, scheduled pupil transport and have access to a small MPV suitable for the specified journey and passenger group. The requirement is focused on one route between Reigate and Redhill and Sunnydown in Caterham.

The procurement has been completed through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It comprised one lot. The contract was awarded to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd on 24 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The awarded and contracted value is £2,319,107 GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The successful supplier is Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, a Redhill-based company. The tender reached complete status and the award is active; the contract is also active. The available process information identifies the procurement method and outcome, while the award record does not set out detailed evaluation weightings or selection scores.

This procurement demonstrates substantial, defined demand from Surrey County Council for specialist pupil transport on a local route. A competitor preparing for a future requirement of this kind would need reliable operations in Reigate, Redhill and Caterham, a suitable small MPV, and the capacity to transport four pupils consistently without a passenger assistant. Experience of transporting children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities would help establish credibility, alongside dependable scheduling, safeguarding practice and clear communication with the council and families. Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd is recorded as an SME supplier, showing that this type of council transport requirement can be delivered by a smaller local operator rather than only a national transport business.
