UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities journey. The requirement covers one pupil travelling to Aurora Redehall School in Surrey, using a saloon vehicle and a passenger assistant. The pupil lives in the GU27 area, so the service involves collecting a pupil from that locality and transporting them to the school. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local public authority. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle hire, school bus, or fleet supply requirement. Businesses should therefore assess whether they can provide a suitable saloon car, a passenger assistant, and reliable, individual transport for a school pupil with SEND-related travel needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One supplier was selected: Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd. The award was made on 4 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract is valued at £17,024,000 gross and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The contract itself is active, while the tender status is complete. The procurement used the light-touch regime and covered one requirement. The published outcome identifies transport services as the procurement category, classified under CPV 60000000. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Redhill.

This outcome shows Surrey County Council’s demand for individually arranged SEND passenger transport, linking a pupil’s home area with a named school rather than using a conventional shared bus service. A credible competitor for the same requirement when it returns would need a suitable saloon vehicle, a dependable passenger assistant, and the operational capacity to provide a consistent home-to-school journey for one pupil. Local passenger transport firms, particularly smaller operators able to cover the GU27 area and Surrey school destinations, are the clearest fit. The award also provides a useful benchmark for the type of supplier the council has accepted: an SME transport business able to deliver a focused, personalised education transport service.
