UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), specifically enhanced-needs journeys by taxi or multi-purpose vehicle carrying 1–8 passengers and accompanied by a passenger assistant. The requirement is for passenger transport services, rather than vehicle supply. The contract title covers client transport for SEND, and the awarded lot concerns this enhanced-needs taxi/MPV service. The council is the buyer. The supplier is based in Epsom, but the procurement information does not identify the journey destinations or delivery locations.

The procurement is complete and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Clocktower Cars was selected for the enhanced-needs transport lot. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2027. Its stated value is £5,646.43 including VAT. The award is recorded as active and the contract is active. The competition was conducted under the light-touch regime. The published outcome identifies one lot, for taxi/MPV transport with a passenger assistant, but gives no further evaluation or eligibility criteria.

For suppliers considering comparable SEND transport work for Surrey County Council, the requirement indicates a need to provide taxi or MPV journeys for passengers with enhanced needs, with capacity for 1–8 passengers and a passenger assistant. Credible providers would need to demonstrate that they can deliver this specific combination of passenger transport and accompaniment. The award to a local Epsom-based operator shows that a transport business can meet the buyer’s requirement through a limited competition. The recorded contract is modest in scale, so suppliers should assess whether they can provide the service efficiently at that level. The procurement gives no further detail about required vehicle adaptations, staff qualifications or specific experience.
