UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport services for Hawley Woods School’s pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement covers six pupils, transported without a passenger assistant, using a large multi-purpose vehicle. Journeys involve one pupil from each of Hindhead, Farnham, Tongham, Ash, Ash Vale and Frimley. The service is classified as passenger transport and is delivered across these Surrey locations in connection with travel to the school. This is a local authority transport operation rather than a general taxi or fleet supply requirement: relevant suppliers would need to provide suitable vehicles and organise reliable pupil journeys for the named school route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. A single requirement was awarded to AK carz Ltd. The award was made on 20 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £41,506.07 gross. The procurement concerns services, with transport services as the stated classification. The published outcome records the selected supplier and an active contract; no separate evaluation weighting or award criteria are stated in the procurement data.

This award indicates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND pupil transport linking individual children with Hawley Woods School. Suppliers positioned for a comparable requirement would need a large MPV or similar suitable vehicle, the operational capacity to provide six separate pupil journeys, and dependable coverage of Hindhead, Farnham, Tongham, Ash, Ash Vale and Frimley. Experience in scheduled school or accessible passenger transport would help demonstrate credibility, particularly where journeys involve children with additional needs and must be delivered without a passenger assistant. A small local operator can be relevant: the selected supplier is recorded as an SME, suggesting that this type of route can suit businesses with focused local coverage rather than only large transport contractors.
