Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service is taxi or multi-purpose vehicle transport for between one and eight passenger seats, with a passenger assistant provided. It falls within general transport services. The requirement is identified as Lot 2 of the council’s Client Transport Services programme and is intended to support the council’s client transport operations. The selected supplier, Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, is a small enterprise based in Redhill. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The work is therefore relevant to passenger transport operators, taxi and private-hire vehicle businesses, and providers able to deliver assisted SEND journeys for the council.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The tender was run under the light-touch regime and the single lot has completed. Surrey County Council selected Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd. The contract was signed on 17 September 2026, with a gross value of £49,185.71. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The award covers the enhanced-needs taxi or MPV service with a passenger assistant for SEND transport. The published outcome records one active award and one active contract, both relating to the same requirement. The evaluation basis is the outcome of a limited competition; the available procurement data does not provide a separate weighting or detailed scoring breakdown.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for assisted passenger transport serving children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. Businesses well placed for a comparable requirement would operate taxis or MPVs accommodating up to eight passengers and be able to provide a passenger assistant as part of the service. Relevant capability includes dependable scheduled transport, safe support for passengers with enhanced needs, suitable vehicles and the operational management needed to deliver individual client journeys. The selected supplier is a small enterprise, showing that the requirement can be delivered by an SME rather than only by a large transport group. Competitors should be able to evidence reliable local transport operations and a service model tailored to SEND passengers when this buyer next requires the same service.
