UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for Clifton Hill School under its SEND client transport requirement. The service covers five pupils living in the RH1 and RH2 postcode areas, supported by one passenger assistant. It requires a wheelchair-accessible vehicle that can carry two wheelchair users and three seated pupils. The passenger assistant must complete online seizure-awareness training and follow the 999 emergency protocol if a seizure occurs, including awareness of the VNS magnet. This is a passenger transport service delivered for pupils travelling between their homes in the Redhill and Reigate postcode areas and Clifton Hill School. The procurement falls within transport services, with CPV classification 60000000.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd was selected for the single requirement and the contract was signed on 14 August 2026. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an awarded value of £187,720 gross. The requirement was treated as a light-touch service. The award covers the full transport service, including the wheelchair-accessible vehicle and passenger-assistant provision. Surrey County Council is the buyer. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and an active contract; the tender itself is recorded as complete.

This procurement indicates recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND transport combining accessible vehicle capacity, pupil safeguarding and trained passenger-assistant support. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have a wheelchair-accessible vehicle capable of carrying two wheelchair users and three seated pupils, and the operational capacity to provide a reliable route for five pupils from the RH1 and RH2 areas to Clifton Hill School. Passenger assistants need to understand seizure risks, complete online seizure-awareness training and respond correctly under the 999 emergency protocol, including use of a VNS magnet. A credible competitor would therefore need experience in specialist school or assisted passenger transport, suitable safeguarding procedures, appropriately trained staff and dependable accessible-vehicle operations.
