UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision at Linden Bridge. The requirement covered transport for five pupils and one personal assistant using a large multi-purpose vehicle. The service relates to journeys involving Epsom and Worcester Park, including a pupil travelling from postcode KT18 6HS for a limited number of trips. The timetable required morning and afternoon journeys on Mondays and Tuesdays, a morning journey on Wednesdays, and an afternoon journey on Fridays. The personal assistant needed additional skills in first aid, asthma awareness and emergency medication administration, including EpiPen use. The transport services category covers the delivery of passenger transport rather than vehicle supply alone.

The procurement is complete and one supplier was awarded the single lot: Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 12 August 2026, starts on 1 September 2026 and ends on 31 July 2027. Its value is £60,296.79 including the stated gross amount, with a contract value below the applicable threshold. The awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in Redhill. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process; the published information does not set out separate price, quality or other award weightings. The contract remains active following the award.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dependable SEND passenger transport in the Epsom and Worcester Park area, combining vehicle provision with appropriately trained passenger support. A credible future competitor would need access to a large MPV, the capacity to provide a personal assistant, and reliable coverage across the specified weekday morning and afternoon timetable. Staff capability is particularly important: the passenger support role requires first aid, asthma awareness and competence in administering emergency medication, including EpiPens, while understanding allergy and asthma risks. Operators with experience transporting children or young people with additional needs, robust safeguarding and journey-management procedures, and the capacity to deliver limited-trip arrangements would be well placed to compete when this requirement returns.
