## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) route serving Unified Academy in Dorking. The service covers journeys from Caterham, Woldingham and Redhill, transporting four pupils. The requirement is for a medium multi-purpose vehicle (MPV), with no passenger assistant included. This is a local education transport operation rather than general bus or taxi provision, involving regular pupil journeys between the named communities and the academy. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The procurement falls within transport services, covering the operational provision of suitable vehicle and driver capacity for the specified school transport route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, an SME, on 19 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract value is £115,900 gross, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, covering the 2026/27, 2027/28 and 2028/29 school years. The award is active and the contract is active. The process was conducted under the light-touch regime. The published requirement identifies the vehicle specification, pupil numbers and route, while the available award information records the selected supplier and contract outcome.

This award demonstrates sustained demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport linking Dorking with Caterham, Woldingham and Redhill. A credible future competitor would need to provide a medium MPV and organise dependable journeys for four pupils on a defined education route, without relying on a passenger assistant for this requirement. Relevant capability is therefore local route planning, consistent school-day availability, safe and reliable pupil transport, and the ability to maintain service continuity across several academic years. The successful supplier is an SME based in Redhill, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a locally focused transport business rather than only a large national operator. Experience with council-funded education transport would strengthen a competing supplier’s position.
