This procurement involves the provision of transport services in Woking and Lingfield, utilising a saloon car with a pupil and a passenger assistant. The procurement was carried out under a limited method, characterised by below-threshold and limited competition, with the process reaching the award and contract stages on 17th July 2026. The contract is set to commence on 3rd September 2026 and will end on 31st July 2027, with a total value of £5,201,429 GBP. This project falls under the light-touch regime as per UKPGA 2023/54 legislation.

This tender provides significant opportunities for transport service providers, particularly those experienced in the SEND sector, to expand their business within Surrey. The contract has been awarded to Clocktower Cars, indicating the potential for sizeable contracts resulting from limited competition. Companies that are capable of providing specialised transport with attention to passenger needs, particularly focused on educational transport, are well-suited to compete for similar future opportunities with public authorities like Surrey County Council.
