## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport for a SEND pupil attending Maypole School (Melville) in Croydon. The service is for one student travelling between Dorking and the school in Croydon, using one saloon car with four passenger seats. The route is intended for passenger transport rather than freight or waste movement. The published requirement states that no passenger assistant is needed. The service is currently planned as a morning or afternoon-only route, with the possibility that it may later expand to full-day transport. This is a local authority requirement centred on safe, reliable transport for a child with special educational needs between the Dorking area and Croydon.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Courtesy Cars Redhill Ltd, a Redhill-based SME. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 24 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, with a gross value of £39,443.57. One completed lot covered the transport service. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded evaluation outcome selected the named supplier; no separate scoring criteria or weighting are published in the procurement details. The route requirement may increase from part-day operation to full-day transport during delivery.

This award indicates demand for small-scale SEND school transport delivered by a local passenger-transport operator. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need an appropriately licensed and insured saloon vehicle, capacity for a single pupil, and the operational ability to provide dependable journeys between Dorking and Croydon. The requirement is suited to an SME able to manage a dedicated education route rather than a large fleet operation. Reliability, safeguarding, punctual school-day scheduling and appropriate arrangements for transporting a child with special educational needs would be central to a strong service. Suppliers should also be able to adapt a part-day route if the council later requires full-day coverage, while maintaining continuity for the pupil and school.
