UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for 1–8 passengers. The requirement is for passenger transport services under Lot 2 of the council’s wider client transport programme. The buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The available information identifies the transport service and vehicle capacity, but does not give individual routes or specific delivery addresses.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026, with a period from 7 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £106,471.43 including tax. The award covers enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport for SEND passengers, with vehicles seating 1–8 passengers. The procurement was organised as a single lot. No separate award date or evaluation criteria are stated in the available details.

The award shows Surrey County Council buys specialist passenger transport for people with SEND, using taxis and MPVs seating up to eight passengers. Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, a small business, secured the contract through a limited competition, demonstrating that a supplier of this scale can win this kind of requirement. A credible competitor for the same service would need to provide suitable vehicles and reliably deliver transport for passengers with enhanced needs. The requirement is focused on SEND transport rather than general passenger transport, so relevant experience serving this passenger group and the operational capacity to provide the specified vehicle sizes would be commercially pertinent when this buyer next considers the service.
