UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for one pupil attending The Children’s Trust School. The requirement is for a wheelchair-accessible multi-purpose vehicle, one passenger assistant and transport between Caterham and Tadworth. The pupil has epilepsy and a gastrostomy feeding tube. The passenger assistant must receive training in seizure management and the administration of emergency medication from the child’s Specialist Epilepsy Nurse before transport begins. The assistant must understand how to protect the gastrostomy tube from being dislodged by seat belts or other restraints; feeding will not take place during transport. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000, for Surrey County Council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded to Clocktower Cars. The award is active and the contract is active. The award date was 4 September 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £55,823.57 gross. The requirement is a light-touch service procurement. The contract covers the single pupil transport arrangement described in the scope, including the vehicle and passenger assistant. Clocktower Cars is the selected supplier for this requirement.

This procurement demonstrates demand for highly tailored home-to-school or specialist educational transport involving a wheelchair user and a child with complex medical needs. A credible competitor would need access to a suitable wheelchair-accessible MPV and the operational capacity to provide reliable individual passenger transport between Caterham and Tadworth. It would also need to recruit or allocate a passenger assistant able to complete specialist training and apply seizure-management and emergency-medication procedures safely. Practical understanding of gastrostomy-tube safety, vehicle restraints and safeguarding would be important. The buyer’s use of a below-threshold limited competition indicates that suppliers able to combine accessible vehicles, trained support staff and dependable local coverage are well placed for comparable requirements.
