Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), specifically complex health transport using wheelchair-accessible minibuses with a passenger assistant. The requirement sits within a wider client transport programme. The buyer is Surrey County Council; the procurement does not identify a separate delivery location.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Clocktower Cars. It used limited competition below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 7 October 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £328,821.43. The requirement was organised as a single lot for complex health transport. The published information does not describe the evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates Surrey County Council’s demand for SEND transport for passengers with complex health needs, including journeys requiring wheelchair-accessible minibuses and passenger assistants. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work for this buyer would need suitable accessible vehicles and the capacity to provide passenger-assistant-supported transport. Experience delivering transport for people with SEND and complex health needs would be relevant to establishing credibility against this requirement.
