UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for four pupils with special educational needs and disabilities attending West Hill Primary School. The service covers transport between Epsom, where the students are based, and the school in Leatherhead. The requirement includes one medium multi-purpose vehicle with seven passenger seats and transport for one passenger assistant. The passenger assistant must receive training arranged by Heidi Marie because one student has epilepsy and requires emergency medication. This is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply or general fleet work. It is relevant to operators able to provide safe, managed school transport for children with additional needs, with suitable vehicles and appropriately trained passenger-assistant support.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Clocktower Cars through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch services regime. The award is active and relates to the single requirement. The award and contract were recorded on 14 August 2026, and the contract was signed on that date. The contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £167,042.86 including gross value as reported, in GBP. The selected supplier is Clocktower Cars. The stated service classification is transport services, excluding waste transport. The process was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available procurement information does not set out separate price, quality or scoring criteria.

This award shows a defined demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport linking Epsom and Leatherhead. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate a suitable seven-seat MPV, provide reliable scheduled journeys for four pupils, and support an accompanying passenger assistant. It would also need the operational ability to arrange role-specific training for the assistant where a passenger has epilepsy and emergency medication needs. Relevant strengths include experience transporting children or passengers with additional needs, robust safeguarding and journey-management arrangements, dependable vehicle availability, and staff able to follow individual health and safety instructions. The opportunity suits a passenger transport operator capable of delivering a small, high-support education route rather than a standard taxi service.
