UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers transport for two students attending West Hill Primary School, with one passenger assistant (PA); the PA does not require medical training. The vehicle requirement is one small MPV with five passenger seats. The service connects locations in Leatherhead and Redhill, supporting travel to and from the school. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, school staffing or clinical care. Businesses operating accessible or SEND-focused transport services, with suitable vehicles and passenger-assistant arrangements, would be relevant to this type of requirement for Surrey County Council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, an SME. The award was made on 6 August 2026 and the contract was signed the same day. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £141,606.79 including tax. The awarded service is classified as transport services. The contract is active, and the selected supplier is responsible for the requirement covering West Hill Primary School, two students, one PA and one small five-seat MPV. The procurement information does not state an evaluation weighting or scoring basis.

This award provides a clear example of Surrey County Council’s demand for dedicated SEND school transport delivered on a relatively small route or service requirement. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate a small five-seat MPV, transport two pupils reliably between Leatherhead, Redhill and West Hill Primary School, and provide a passenger assistant who does not need medical training. Relevant operational capability includes dependable school-run scheduling, safeguarding-aware work with children and young people, appropriate passenger care, and the ability to coordinate drivers, vehicles and passenger assistants. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale and delivery model can suit a smaller specialist transport operator rather than only a large fleet business.
