UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services for The Gatwick School in Crawley. The requirement covers transporting one pupil from Smallfield, with no passenger assistant required, using one saloon vehicle. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The work is associated with the school journey between Smallfield and The Gatwick School in Crawley. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement sits within its wider client transport service provision for children. It is therefore relevant to operators that provide regular, reliable school transport using suitable saloon cars and can manage an individual pupil journey without a passenger assistant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It comprised one completed lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd on 27 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £19,028.57 including tax. The recorded procurement method was limited competition. The award covered the single transport requirement for one pupil travelling from Smallfield to The Gatwick School in Crawley. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and confirms that the contract is below the relevant threshold.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for individually specified child transport between Smallfield and a school in Crawley. A credible future competitor would need to provide a saloon vehicle, deliver dependable scheduled journeys for a single pupil, and operate without relying on a passenger assistant for this requirement. Local coverage around Redhill, Smallfield, Crawley and Gatwick would be commercially relevant, as would experience in school or client transport services. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this scale of council transport work can suit smaller operators as well as larger fleets. Suppliers should be prepared to compete through a limited, below-threshold route rather than assuming an open tender.
