UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision. The requirement serves Sunnydown School in Caterham, transporting one pupil from Horley on a solo basis. The passenger has epilepsy and requires emergency medication, so the service includes appropriate support during travel. A passenger assistant is required and must be trained in first aid, epilepsy awareness and the administration of emergency medication. The vehicle specified is a saloon car. This is a local school transport requirement focused on safe, individual travel for a pupil with additional medical and support needs. The work is delivered between Horley and Sunnydown School in Caterham, under Surrey County Council’s client transport services programme.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council awarded the single requirement to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd. The award is active and the contract is active. The award and contract were signed on 24 July 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £4,043,571, in pounds sterling. The procurement used a limited procedure under the light-touch regime. The contract covers the transport service described for Sunnydown School and is recorded as a services procurement. The published outcome identifies one awarded supplier for the requirement; no separate lot awards or alternative suppliers are recorded.

This requirement is relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide reliable one-to-one SEND school transport using a saloon car. Credible competitors would need to demonstrate safe handling of a pupil with epilepsy, including robust arrangements for emergency medication and continuity of care during journeys. They would also need a suitable passenger assistant who can complete first-aid, epilepsy-awareness and emergency-medication training, and apply that training appropriately. The route requires dependable daily operations between Horley and Caterham, with the capacity to support a solo passenger rather than combine journeys. The award to a small or medium-sized local transport business indicates that this type of specialist, closely managed service can suit an SME with suitable vehicles, trained staff and operational resilience.
