UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Fox Grove school, supporting four pupils with one personal assistant. The requirement is for an MPV with seven passenger seats, providing transport for pupils living in the GU5, GU7 and KT23 postcode areas. This is a passenger transport service for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), rather than a general vehicle hire or standard school transport requirement. The work is centred on Fox Grove school and the stated Surrey postcode areas. Businesses suited to this requirement would provide managed, reliable journeys for pupils and accompanying staff using an appropriately sized passenger vehicle.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected Clocktower Cars for the transport services. The award was made on 11 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with an awarded value of £174,800 gross. It covers one lot and is treated as a light-touch services procurement. The evaluation was conducted through the limited-competition route; the published outcome identifies transport services as the relevant category. The contract is active, while the tender itself is complete.

This award indicates established demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND passenger transport linked to an individual school and defined local travel areas. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to organise dependable pupil journeys, accommodate a personal assistant and operate a medium MPV with seven passenger seats. Local coverage around the GU5, GU7 and KT23 areas would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to manage a school-focused service for four pupils rather than only ad hoc taxi journeys. The awarded supplier is recorded as a large business, suggesting that capacity, operational reliability and the ability to sustain service delivery over several school years are important competitive considerations.
