Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for Reigate Valley College, Phoenix Campus. The requirement covers transport for three pupils travelling from Leatherhead, with no passenger assistant required, using one small multi-purpose vehicle. This is a passenger transport service rather than a supply or construction contract, delivered for the council’s education transport needs. The named buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority based in Reigate. The service is associated with the Reigate Valley College Phoenix Campus and the pupil journey from Leatherhead. The requirement was arranged as a single transport service package, with the successful provider responsible for delivering the specified school travel arrangement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, an SME, for the child mainstream transport service. The award was made on 7 August 2026. The active contract was signed on 7 August 2026 and runs from 4 September 2026 to 3 September 2027. Its value is £2,491.07 including tax. The procedure was a limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract covers the single requirement for Reigate Valley College, Phoenix Campus, involving three pupils from Leatherhead, no passenger assistant and one small MPV. The tender was below the applicable threshold.

This award indicates a requirement for a small-scale, reliable school transport operation serving three pupils on a defined journey between Leatherhead and Reigate Valley College’s Phoenix Campus. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have access to a suitable small MPV, the operational capacity to provide regular pupil journeys, and the systems needed to manage school transport reliably without a passenger assistant. Local or regional operators able to cover Surrey education routes may be particularly relevant, as the selected provider is a small enterprise based in Redhill. Credibility for a future requirement of this type would depend on dependable vehicle availability, competent drivers, safeguarding-conscious operating practices and the ability to deliver consistent scheduled transport for children.
