UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Brookways School’s special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport. The requirement covers five students, with no passenger assistant, using a medium multi-purpose vehicle with seven passenger seats. Students are located in Leigh, Epsom and West Ewell, and the school is in Sutton. The service falls within passenger transport services, covering the safe and reliable movement of pupils between their homes and Brookways School. This is a single service requirement for a local authority buyer, relevant to operators providing contracted school or assisted passenger transport, particularly those with suitable multi-passenger vehicles and experience transporting children or young people with additional needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed and awarded on 30 July 2026 to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd. The awarded and contracted value is £11,579,107 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award covers the sole lot and the contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure rather than an open competition, so the route involved a restricted group of competing suppliers. The published outcome identifies transport services as the relevant service category and confirms that Surrey County Council selected one supplier for this requirement.

This award shows substantial, sustained demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND client transport serving Brookways School and communities around Leigh, Epsom and West Ewell. A credible future competitor would need to operate a dependable seven-seat medium MPV and provide consistent journeys for five pupils without a passenger assistant. Relevant strengths include robust safeguarding arrangements, appropriately trained drivers, reliable vehicle availability, contingency cover for breakdowns or absence, and the ability to manage scheduled home-to-school transport across Surrey and Sutton. Experience in school transport, SEND passenger needs, route planning and working with local authorities would help demonstrate operational fit. A small or specialist local transport operator could be well placed where it can evidence safe, resilient service delivery.
