UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) route serving Landon School. The requirement covers transport for four passengers, all from Stanwell, using a large multi-purpose vehicle. A passenger assistant is required to provide behavioural support during journeys. The work is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply or general logistics, and delivery is centred on transporting the pupils between Stanwell and Landon School. Businesses operating accessible or suitable passenger vehicles, providing escorted school transport, or supporting children and young people with additional needs would find the requirement relevant. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority based in Reigate.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. AK carz Ltd was selected for the single route. The award was made on 17 August 2026 for £104,850 gross, including the full contract value stated for the service. The contract was signed on 17 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. It is classified as a passenger transport service and falls under the light-touch regime. The requirement was structured as one lot, covering the Landon School route. The published process identifies limited competition as the procurement method; the available details do not set out separate quality, price or other scoring weightings.

This award demonstrates a defined local demand for SEND passenger transport involving four pupils from Stanwell, a large MPV and a passenger assistant providing behavioural support. A future competitor would need reliable capacity for a suitably sized vehicle, dependable daily school-route operations and the ability to provide safe, consistent support for passengers with behavioural or other additional needs. Relevant capability includes experience transporting children or young people with SEND, trained or suitably experienced passenger assistants, safeguarding-aware operating procedures, and contingency arrangements for vehicle or staff absence. Local knowledge of Stanwell and the route to Landon School would support credible delivery. The scale also suits an established small transport operator able to combine vehicle availability with appropriately supported passenger journeys.
