UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) students attending Muntham House School. The requirement covers transport for three students initially, increasing to four students, travelling from RH6 7LH in the Horley area to the school in Horsham. The vehicle requirement is one small multi-purpose vehicle with five passenger seats, and no personal assistant is required. The procurement is for passenger transport services rather than vehicle supply or general school transport. The service is delivered for Surrey County Council’s education transport needs, with the journey linking Horley and Horsham.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It was treated as a light-touch services procurement and comprised one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 and has a gross value of £32,962.86. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The service starts with three students from 2 September 2026, with an additional student joining from 21 September 2026. The requirement was evaluated through the council’s limited competition process; the published outcome identifies the selected supplier but does not provide a separate breakdown of evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates a defined local market for SEND passenger transport connecting Horley with a specialist school in Horsham. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a reliable small MPV with five passenger seats, organise regular journeys for three to four students, and manage a changing passenger requirement during the school year. The successful supplier profile shows that an SME can deliver this scale of council transport service. Relevant capability is therefore focused on dependable school-run operations, suitable vehicle availability, route planning between Surrey and West Sussex, punctuality, and safe transport for children with SEND. Experience delivering contracted passenger transport for a local authority or education setting would strengthen a future bid.
