UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for three students with special educational needs attending Woodfield School. The requirement covers one saloon car with four passenger seats and no personal assistant, transporting students between Cobham and Leatherhead and the school in Redhill. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle supply contract. The buyer is Surrey County Council, and delivery centres on journeys in and around Cobham, Leatherhead and Redhill. The procurement falls within transport services, covering the planned movement of children to and from school. It is relevant to local taxi, private hire, school transport and passenger vehicle operators able to provide suitable journeys for SEND pupils.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, an SME. The award was made on 5 August 2026 for £9,823,500 gross, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active and runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The process used a light-touch regime and covered one transport-services requirement. The successful supplier is contracted to provide the specified school transport for Surrey County Council. The award concerns the full requirement described for Woodfield School and the three students travelling from Cobham and Leatherhead to Redhill.

This award demonstrates substantial, multi-year demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport linking Cobham and Leatherhead with Redhill. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to operate a reliable passenger transport service, provide a suitable saloon with four passenger seats, and manage regular school journeys for a small number of students without a personal assistant. Local knowledge of the routes and the ability to coordinate dependable collection and arrival times would be commercially relevant. The opportunity suits taxi, private hire and other specialist passenger transport businesses with the vehicles, drivers, scheduling capacity and operational discipline to deliver consistent education transport for Surrey County Council.
