UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport services for Fox Grove school under its SEND transport requirement. The service covers three pupils living in the RH7 postcode area, with one passenger assistant required for the journey. The vehicle specification is a large MPV with eight passenger seats, making this a passenger transport requirement rather than a general taxi or vehicle hire service. The work is classified as transport services. Delivery is centred on transporting the pupils from the RH7 area to Fox Grove school, serving Surrey County Council’s education and special educational needs and disabilities transport needs. This requirement will be most relevant to passenger transport operators with suitable vehicles and arrangements for transporting children and accompanying support staff.

The procurement has completed through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to Clocktower Cars on 11 August 2026. The award is active and the contract is active; it was signed on 11 August 2026. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029 and is valued at £190,000 gross. One lot was awarded, covering the complete requirement. The selected supplier is responsible for the transport service described for Fox Grove school, including provision of the large eight-seat MPV and transport for three pupils with one passenger assistant. The process used a limited procurement method rather than an open competition, and the tender itself is recorded as complete.

This award demonstrates a defined local demand from Surrey County Council for recurring SEND passenger transport linked to an individual school and pupil group. Competitors would need to provide a large MPV with eight passenger seats and organise reliable transport for three pupils from the RH7 postcode area, together with one passenger assistant. The requirement suits established local hire, taxi or passenger transport operators able to coordinate school journeys and provide appropriately sized vehicles. Credibility for a future requirement would depend on demonstrating practical capacity for small-group school transport, dependable journey planning between the RH7 area and Fox Grove school, and the ability to accommodate an accompanying passenger assistant within the vehicle and service arrangements.
