UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for two pupils attending Woodlands Primary School. The service covers travel from Netherne on the Hill to Leatherhead, with one passenger assistant and a wheelchair-accessible multi-purpose vehicle. One pupil must travel in an Ormeau Bug wheelchair. The passenger assistant must understand gastrostomy feeding tubes, although the tube will not be used during transport, and must support a child with epilepsy. The passenger assistant is required to hold training in first aid, seizure management and seizure awareness. Transport is required on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, while a parent provides transport on the other two school days. This is a SEND transport service within Surrey, classified as transport services.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Clocktower Cars. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026, with an awarded value of £70,857.14. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. One lot covered the requirement, and its award status is active. The evaluation resulted in selection of Clocktower Cars as the supplier. The requirement formed part of the Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND procurement. The award concerns services rather than goods or works, and the recorded contract value is below the applicable threshold.

This award shows the council’s demand for reliable, specialist SEND transport combining accessible vehicles with appropriately trained passenger assistants. A credible future provider would need a wheelchair-accessible MPV suitable for a child travelling in an Ormeau Bug wheelchair, operational capacity for two pupils, and the ability to provide scheduled weekday school transport. Staff capability is central: passenger assistants should understand gastrostomy feeding tubes and be trained in first aid, seizure management and seizure awareness, with the confidence to support a child with epilepsy in line with an agreed care plan. Operators with dependable safeguarding procedures, accessible-vehicle experience, trained escorts and strong school-run logistics would be well placed for a similar Surrey requirement.
