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 attending Merrywood House School in Tadworth. The service runs from Weybridge and covers one pupil. It requires a small MPV and a passenger assistant (PA). The PA must be trained in first aid, asthma awareness, epilepsy awareness and the administration of emergency medication, specifically Buccolam. This is a dedicated client transport service rather than general passenger transport, with the work focused on safely supporting a pupil’s regular journey to and from school. The relevant service category is transport services, excluding waste transport. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority responsible for arranging this transport.

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 award was made on 21 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with a gross value of £190,000 including applicable taxes. There was one lot covering the complete requirement: transport for the Merrywood House School journey from Weybridge. The awarded service is classified as services, under transport services. The published outcome identifies Clocktower Cars as the selected supplier. No separate award values or additional suppliers are recorded for this requirement.

This procurement indicates a defined requirement for SEND school transport in Surrey, combining vehicle provision with trained passenger support. Suppliers preparing for a future requirement of this type would need access to a small MPV suitable for a single pupil and the operational capacity to provide reliable, regular journeys between Weybridge and Tadworth. They would also need passenger assistants who can demonstrate first-aid competence, asthma and epilepsy awareness, and the ability to administer Buccolam emergency medication. Relevant experience in supporting children or young people with SEND, robust driver and passenger-assistant arrangements, and dependable safeguarding and journey-management processes would strengthen a competitor’s credibility. The buyer’s use of a limited competition also shows that familiarity with this type of specialist transport requirement is commercially relevant.
