UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council is buying complex health transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service is described as taxi or multi-purpose vehicle transport with a passenger assistant. The requirement sits within the council’s client transport services programme and concerns journeys where health needs call for more complex support. The named supplier is based in Epsom, Surrey, while the buying organisation is Surrey County Council. The published scope identifies transport services rather than vehicle supply or infrastructure work. This requirement is relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide taxi or MPV journeys and passenger assistants for SEND clients, particularly those with experience handling complex health-related transport needs.

The procurement has been awarded, and the contract is active. Surrey County Council selected Clocktower Cars for the complex health transport requirement through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 9 October 2026, with a period running from 13 October 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £53,857.14 including tax. The process was organised as one lot, covering taxi or MPV transport with a passenger assistant for SEND clients. The award record names Clocktower Cars as the successful supplier. No separate award date is recorded; the contract was signed on 9 October 2026. The requirement formed part of a wider client transport services programme described as covering 2026–2034, but the awarded contract period is the shorter period stated above.

For competing operators, this award shows that Surrey County Council buys specialist passenger transport for SEND clients where complex health needs require more than a vehicle and driver. A credible supplier would need to demonstrate capacity to provide suitable taxis or MPVs, passenger assistants, and reliable coordination of journeys for clients who may need additional care during travel. Relevant experience in SEND transport and health-related passenger needs would help show that the service can be delivered safely and consistently. The award also indicates that the council used a limited competition for this below-threshold requirement, so suppliers seeking similar work should be prepared to demonstrate a focused fit with the council’s defined transport needs. The scale is a specific, time-limited service rather than a broad transport network contract.
