UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport for four passengers travelling from Epsom to Guildford College. The service supports children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), with journeys operated five days a week according to scheduled timetables. The route requires a passenger assistant throughout the service. The passenger assistant must have epilepsy and seizure-awareness knowledge and be able to administer emergency medication when required. This is a local passenger transport service rather than general bus provision: suppliers need to provide suitable vehicles, reliable scheduled journeys and appropriately supported travel between Epsom and Guildford College. The procurement is categorised as transport services and is intended to meet an individual, assisted-transport requirement for Surrey County Council.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One contract was awarded to Clocktower Cars on 4 September 2026. The contract was signed on 4 September 2026, starts on 7 September 2026 and runs until 30 July 2027. Its value is £57,981.43 including tax. The awarded service covers the single SEND transport requirement for travel between Epsom and Guildford College, with passenger-assistant support and scheduled operation five days a week. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded procurement status is complete, so this procurement has reached its outcome rather than remaining at a pre-award or evaluation stage.

This award indicates demand for dependable, small-scale SEND transport with assisted travel between Epsom and Guildford College. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would be established passenger transport operators able to provide suitable vehicles, consistent five-day service and dependable timetable management. They would also need to recruit, train and retain passenger assistants with practical epilepsy and seizure-awareness competence, including the ability to administer emergency medication safely when required. Credibility would come from demonstrable experience transporting passengers with additional needs, robust safeguarding and incident procedures, reliable attendance, and effective communication with the council, college and families. Operators able to combine driving capacity with appropriately qualified passenger-assistant cover would match the service model evidenced by this award.
