UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for a pupil with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service covers one student travelling from Epsom to Harris Academy in Sutton, with a route distance of 9.13 miles. It requires an accessible vehicle with capacity for eight passengers; a personal assistant is not required. The work falls within transport services and is intended to provide the student’s regular journey between home and school. The buyer is Surrey County Council, and delivery takes place between Epsom and Sutton in Surrey and the surrounding area served by this route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used one service lot. Clocktower Cars was awarded the contract on 14 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £37,105.71 including tax. The contract is active and the award is active. The requirement was handled under the light-touch regime. The award covers the full transport service for the specified SEND school route, with Clocktower Cars as the selected supplier.

This requirement is relevant to operators providing dependable SEND and school transport, particularly firms with accessible vehicles and the capacity to provide an eight-seat vehicle for a regular pupil journey. Credible suppliers would need to manage scheduled transport between Epsom and Sutton, meet school-run reliability expectations, and support safe travel for a child with additional needs. The awarded supplier’s profile indicates that a larger transport operator can satisfy this type of requirement, but the single-passenger route may also suit a specialist local provider with appropriate vehicle availability, safeguarding arrangements and operational resilience. Experience coordinating education transport and maintaining consistent daily service would strengthen future credibility with Surrey County Council.
