Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" with a focus on transport services for school students with special educational needs and disabilities in the region of Reigate, UK. The contract was awarded to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd and officially signed on 5th August 2026. The procurement utilised a limited method due to being below the financial threshold, and the contract is set to commence on 3rd September 2026, running through until 31st July 2029. This opportunity, which involved the transport of students between Cobham & Leatherhead and a school in Redhill, was categorised under services aligned with light-touch regime regulations.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transportation services, specifically those experienced in handling sensitive and specialised transport needs such as SEND requirements. Businesses with a focus on providing reliable and safe vehicle services, capable of adapting to the unique travel requirements of SEND passengers, are ideally suited to compete for such contracts. The successful completion of this contract by Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd illustrates the potential for business growth and market presence augmentation through participation in public sector transportation opportunities.
