UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured passenger transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities attending Fox Grove school. The requirement covers three pupils, one passenger assistant and a medium-sized vehicle with seven passenger seats. The pupils live in the RH1 postcode area, so the service concerns transport associated with that area and the school. The work falls within transport services (CPV 60000000). The council is the buyer and public authority responsible for the requirement. This is a focused school transport service rather than a general fleet, bus network or passenger transport framework, and is suited to operators able to provide a suitable vehicle and assisted journeys for a small number of pupils.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The single requirement was awarded to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd. The award is active and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026. It runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The contract value is £149,720 gross. The arrangement covers one service for the Fox Grove school transport requirement, rather than multiple lots or separately awarded services. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and the contracted service period, providing a clear benchmark for the route, operating term and financial scale of this council requirement.

This outcome demonstrates a specific Surrey County Council need for SEND school transport using a medium MPV with seven passenger seats, carrying three pupils and one passenger assistant. A credible future competitor would need to operate an appropriately sized passenger vehicle, provide dependable scheduled school journeys and support pupils who may require assisted transport. Local knowledge of the RH1 area and the ability to serve Fox Grove school would be commercially relevant. The award to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, identified as an SME, shows that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist transport operator rather than only a large national fleet business. Providers should therefore assess vehicle availability, driver and passenger-assistant arrangements, safeguarding capability and experience of SEND passenger transport.
