UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services for Oaklands Primary Academy in Westerham. The requirement covers transport for three pupils from Warlingham, using one medium people carrier with six or seven seats, excluding the driver. No passenger assistant is required. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract, with the supplier responsible for providing the transport capability needed to deliver the school journeys. The work is associated with the academy and the pupil journeys between Warlingham and Westerham. The procurement is a single service requirement covering this specified child transport operation, bought by Surrey County Council as the public authority responsible for the contract.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One supplier was selected: Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd. The award was made on 24 July 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active and runs from 1 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £2,786,429 gross. The tender was treated as a services procurement and the single lot is complete. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route. The selected supplier is a Redhill-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract concerns the child mainstream transport service for Oaklands Primary Academy and the three-pupil vehicle requirement described above.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for contracted school transport delivered by a local passenger transport operator. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need the operational capacity to provide reliable daily transport for children, manage scheduled journeys between Warlingham and Westerham, and supply a suitable six- or seven-seat medium vehicle with a qualified driver. The requirement does not depend on providing a passenger assistant, so suppliers structured around driver-led transport may be well placed. Relevant strengths would include experience of school or assisted passenger transport, safeguarding-aware operating procedures, dependable vehicle availability, route planning, punctuality and the ability to maintain service continuity throughout an academic-year contract.
