UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Fox Grove School in support of six pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The service covers transport for pupils living in the RH4 and KT22 postcode areas, with journeys to the school. The requirement includes a large MPV with eight passenger seats and one passenger assistant trained in asthma awareness, because one pupil cannot administer their inhaler independently when needed. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle-only hire: the provider is expected to supply suitable transport and appropriate onboard support for vulnerable children. The procurement is associated with Surrey County Council and delivery is centred on Fox Grove School and the stated Surrey and neighbouring postcode areas.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It consisted of one completed lot. The contract was awarded to Clocktower Cars on 11 August 2026 for £193,800 gross, with the contract signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award covers transport services for the Fox Grove School SEND requirement. The published outcome identifies the supplier and an active contract, but does not state an award weighting or other evaluation breakdown. Surrey County Council is the buyer. This outcome represents a completed procurement, not an invitation to submit a bid for the awarded work.

This requirement is relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide reliable school transport for a small number of SEND pupils, rather than general fleet or taxi services alone. A credible competitor would need access to a large MPV with eight passenger seats, the operational capacity to serve the RH4 and KT22 areas, and suitable safeguarding and assisted-transport arrangements for children with additional needs. The requirement also demonstrates the importance of providing a passenger assistant trained in asthma awareness, including support for a pupil who may need help with inhaler use. Operators with appropriately trained staff, dependable vehicles, experience transporting vulnerable young people and the ability to maintain consistent school journeys would be well placed for a future requirement of this type from Surrey County Council.
