Transport services
There will be no automatic uplifts applied to transport services provided to ASC clients who are funded by SCC.
In many cases these transport arrangements are commissioned on a temporary basis, and it would not be appropriate to automatically uplift these arrangements,
Where there are regular ongoing transport arrangements in place for SCC funded ASC clients, these are often commissioned through SCC's Transport Coordination Centre (TCC). Prices will be based on the terms of contracts tendered through TCC.
Any uplifts agreed would be applied based on these contract terms and such are outside of the remit for SCC's ASC service.
For any regular ongoing transport arrangements in place for SCC funded ASC clients that have not been commissioned through TCC, providers can write to asc.marketengagement@surreycc.gov.uk to make a case for an uplift to current fees and this will be considered
