UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for five students travelling to the RVC site at Therfield School in Leatherhead. The requirement covers journeys involving Redhill, Horley, Oxted and Leatherhead, with mileage varying across the week and needing to be reflected in service planning. The service is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport. It requires one large multi-purpose vehicle with eight passenger seats, not including the driver, and does not require a passenger assistant. The work supports regular education-related journeys for children between the specified Surrey locations and the school site. Businesses operating suitable passenger transport services in and around these areas would be relevant to this requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It comprised one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd on 4 August 2026. The contract was signed on that date and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £6,645,493. The award is active and the contract is active. The procurement used a limited procedure; the available record does not set out an evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria. The requirement was treated as a services contract and remained below the relevant threshold. The selected supplier is based in Redhill.

This award demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from Surrey County Council for organised child transport linking several Surrey towns with an education site in Leatherhead. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a large MPV with at least eight passenger seats, transport five students without a passenger assistant, and operate reliably across Redhill, Horley, Oxted and Leatherhead. It would also need to price journeys accurately where mileage changes during the week, while maintaining dependable scheduling for regular school travel. Relevant businesses are likely to be established passenger transport operators with suitable vehicles, local route knowledge and the operational capacity to manage multi-area education journeys for a council buyer.
