UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed a procurement process titled "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND", aimed at providing transportation services for pupils in the Dorking area. The contract was awarded to AK Carz Ltd, a small enterprise, under a services category with the procurement taking place under limited competition conditions, also known as "below threshold - limited competition". Located in Kingston upon Thames, the Council operated under a light-touch regime for this tender. The procurement was initiated in the tender stage and has now reached the award and contract completion stage. Key contractual periods spanned from 11th May 2026 to 31st July 2026, with the contract being signed on 8th May 2026. The contract's gross value is stated as £1,157,027 GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transport services sector, particularly those specialising in client transport for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Companies similar to AK Carz Ltd, which demonstrate the capability to fulfil small to medium enterprise (SME) contracts, could find growth potential in engaging with such public authority tenders. Firms providing specialised services and those equipped with the necessary vehicle fleet, such as saloon cars for student transport, will find themselves well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes moving forward. The strategic location of Dorking and the structured multi-year service requirement offer a stable, long-term growth opportunity for suitable service providers.
