Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journey to Bramley Hill School. The requirement covers one student travelling from Reigate to the school in Tadworth. It is a dedicated passenger transport service using one saloon car with four passenger seats; a passenger assistant is not required. The service falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. Surrey County Council is the public-sector buyer. The work connects Reigate and Tadworth, so suppliers need to be able to provide reliable school-related passenger transport between these locations and support the stated SEND travel requirement. The procurement formed one requirement rather than a broader multi-service transport programme.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, an SME based in Redhill. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 29 July 2026 and has a gross value of £6,643,750. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award covers the complete requirement for the student journey between Reigate and Tadworth. Surrey County Council has selected a supplier and the contract is active. The published procurement title describes the wider service period as 2026–2034, while the awarded contract period recorded for this requirement ends in July 2029.

This award shows sustained demand from Surrey County Council for contracted SEND transport linking individual students with schools. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to provide a suitable saloon car with four passenger seats, operate reliably between Reigate and Tadworth, and manage a single-student journey without relying on a passenger assistant. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist transport business rather than only a large national operator. Relevant capability is therefore practical passenger transport, dependable school journey delivery, and the capacity to provide consistent service throughout the contract term for a named student and school. Experience of SEND transport would strengthen a supplier’s position.
