UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers daily transport for four students attending Hopescourt School on Waterside Drive, Walton-on-Thames. Students are based in Godstone and Epsom, so the service connects those areas with the school in Walton-on-Thames. The vehicle requirement is one small multi-purpose vehicle with five passenger seats. No personal assistant is required. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract, and would suit operators able to provide reliable, appropriately managed journeys for a small number of SEND pupils across Surrey. The relevant transport services classification is CPV 60000000.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot was awarded to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, and the contract was signed on 4 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £12,338,393 including gross value, in GBP. The active contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award covers the full requirement for transport to and from Hopescourt School and is recorded as a services contract. Surrey County Council used the light-touch regime and a limited procurement method. The selected supplier is a Redhill-based small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement was evaluated through the competition process, with the award recorded against the complete lot.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Surrey County Council for contracted SEND passenger transport linking student homes with specialist education provision. A credible future competitor would need to operate a small passenger vehicle with sufficient seating for the required journeys, plan dependable routes between Godstone, Epsom and Walton-on-Thames, and manage regular school transport safely and consistently. Relevant strengths include experience transporting children or other passengers with additional needs, robust safeguarding and driver-management arrangements, reliable attendance and contingency planning, and the operational capacity to deliver repeated journeys throughout the school term. Local knowledge of Surrey roads and the ability to coordinate closely with the council and school would support a strong response when a comparable requirement returns.
