UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for Limpsfield Grange School, supporting three pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement is a dedicated route using a saloon vehicle, with pupils living in the RH4 and RH5 postcode areas. The service is for pupil transport, including journeys for boarding pupils whose travel days vary according to their timetable. The work is delivered for the school and pupils travelling from the specified Surrey postcode areas. The procurement falls within general transport services, covering the provision of passenger transport rather than vehicle supply, construction or other professional services. The selected provider is based in Redhill, indicating a local operating context for this route.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot. The award was made on 13 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its awarded value is £100,472 gross, including the full stated contract value, and the procurement is below the applicable threshold. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route. The route information noted that boarding pupils mean travel days vary, with final timetables and actual journey days to be confirmed through the manifest.

This procurement shows recurring demand from Surrey County Council for specialist school transport serving pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. A credible competitor would need to provide a suitable saloon vehicle, reliable scheduled passenger journeys and operational flexibility for boarding pupils whose travel days can vary. Knowledge of routes serving RH4 and RH5, or the ability to cover those areas consistently, would be relevant. The awarded supplier was a small or medium-sized local transport business, showing that this type of requirement can suit an operator with focused local capacity rather than only a large transport company. Suppliers should be able to manage manifests, changing timetables and dependable pupil journeys for a school route.
