UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for two pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is transport to Aurora Redehall School, serving pupils who live in the RH2 postcode area and travelling to the school in RH6 9QA. The service requires a medium multi-purpose vehicle with six or seven passenger seats. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, involving the regular movement of pupils between their home area and school. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The requirement is specific to school transport for these pupils and the associated journey between the RH2 area and Aurora Redehall School.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 4 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross and stated value is £7,904,000. The procurement comprised one completed lot covering the SEND transport requirement. The awarded supplier is Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd. The published outcome identifies transport services as the main category, with CPV 60000000. The contract is below the applicable threshold; the procurement information does not set out a separate evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This procurement demonstrates a defined demand from Surrey County Council for contracted SEND pupil transport using a medium MPV with six or seven passenger seats. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement of this type would be passenger transport operators able to provide and manage an appropriately sized vehicle for school journeys, with reliable coverage between the RH2 area and Aurora Redehall School in RH6 9QA. The requirement is suited to businesses experienced in dedicated education transport rather than general freight or vehicle-only supply. Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd is identified as an SME, showing that a smaller local transport operator can deliver this type of council requirement. Competitors should be able to operate through a limited, below-threshold competition route.
