## Summary

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for the Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in South Croydon. The contract, valued at £7,274,857, was awarded to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, a supplier classified as an SME. The contract involves providing transport services for one student using a specialised wheelchair and requires the presence of a trained personal assistant familiar with medical procedures such as gastrostomy feeding. This limited competition process falls under the 'Below threshold' category and follows a light touch regime. The service is set to commence on 18th May 2026, continuing possibly into the next academic year, with contract extensions expected to be confirmed by July 2026.

This tender creates opportunities for SMEs in the transport sector, particularly those specialising in medical and special needs transport services. With an increasing focus on specialised transport for educational institutions, businesses offering tailored transport solutions for SEND students can greatly benefit. Companies with expertise in handling medical equipment and providing trained personnel are well-suited to compete in this market, presenting opportunities to expand their client base and grow their service offerings. This contract underscores the need for specific skill sets, thereby opening up avenues for growth and fostering service differentiation in a niche but essential market.
