UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Fox Grove school, supporting three pupils with special educational needs and disabilities and one personal assistant. The requirement is for a medium multi-purpose vehicle with seven passenger seats, providing transport for pupils living in the KT18 and KT19 postcode areas. The service is delivered in connection with Fox Grove school and the surrounding Surrey area. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply, consultancy or general freight work. Businesses relevant to this requirement are operators able to provide a suitable vehicle and carry pupils and an accompanying personal assistant as part of a dedicated school transport arrangement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Clocktower Cars. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract details were signed on 11 August 2026, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The awarded contract value is £140,600 including tax. Surrey County Council identified one completed lot, covering the transport service for Fox Grove school. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was classified as transport services, excluding waste transport. Clocktower Cars is the selected supplier for the whole requirement, so the awarded value and contract period relate to that single supplier and service.

This award demonstrates a defined local demand for SEND school transport from Surrey County Council: a dedicated passenger service using a medium vehicle with seven passenger seats, carrying three pupils and one personal assistant. Competitors seeking comparable work would need to operate suitable multi-purpose vehicles and organise reliable journeys serving Fox Grove school and the KT18 and KT19 postcode areas. The scale indicates a focused route or small-group transport service rather than a large fleet operation. Experience coordinating school passenger services and the practical capacity to transport pupils alongside an accompanying adult would make a supplier credible for this buyer’s comparable requirements. The procurement also shows that Surrey County Council uses below-threshold limited competition for this type of service.
