Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Fox Grove School’s special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils. The requirement covers transport for three pupils and one personal assistant, using a large multi-purpose vehicle with eight passenger seats. The pupils live in the RH5 postcode area, so the service operates between their homes and the school in the relevant Surrey area. The transport service must support the accompanying personal assistant to complete online seizure-awareness training. It also concerns safe responses to medical incidents, with drivers or relevant staff expected to follow the 999 emergency protocol set out in the pupils’ NHS care plan. The procurement is for passenger transport services rather than vehicle supply or general school transport.

This procurement has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council awarded the single completed lot to Clocktower Cars on 11 August 2026. The active contract was signed on 11 August 2026, runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, and has a gross value of £180,120. The evaluation was conducted through a limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award covers the transport-services requirement for Fox Grove School SEND pupils and the accompanying personal assistant. The contract is below the applicable threshold and remains recorded as active. This outcome identifies the selected supplier, the service period and the scale of the council’s commitment for this specific route.

This procurement shows recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND pupil transport linked to an individual school, a defined residential area and a medically aware passenger-support requirement. A credible future competitor would need to provide a suitable large MPV with eight passenger seats, organise reliable transport for three pupils and accommodate a personal assistant. It would also need arrangements enabling the personal assistant to complete online seizure-awareness training and operational procedures aligned with the NHS care plan, including the specified 999 emergency response. Relevant strengths would therefore include SEND transport experience, dependable school-route management, appropriately sized vehicles, safeguarding-minded staff coordination and the ability to respond consistently to pupils’ individual health needs.
