## Summary

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) journey between Guildford and Merrywood House – Abinger Campus in Dorking. The requirement is for transport for one student, with no personal assistant accompanying them, using a saloon car. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction project. The work is delivered along the route from Guildford to the Abinger Campus in Dorking, serving the council’s education and transport responsibilities. Suppliers specialising in individual or small-scale passenger journeys, particularly transport for children and young people with SEND, would be relevant to this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council awarded the single lot to AK carz Ltd. The award was made on 20 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with a value of £75,984.80 including any applicable taxes. The contract is active. The requirement was treated as a light-touch service procurement and classified as transport services. One supplier was selected for the complete lot; the published outcome does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or weighting for the evaluation.

This award shows a defined need within Surrey for reliable, one-to-one passenger transport supporting a student with SEND, rather than a large-scale bus or general fleet operation. A credible future competitor would need to provide a suitable saloon vehicle and dependable scheduled journeys between Guildford and Dorking, with the operational discipline to serve a single passenger consistently. Experience of school or education transport, safeguarding children and young people, and supporting passengers with additional needs would strengthen a supplier’s position. Local knowledge of Surrey roads and the ability to deliver the service personally or through a suitably controlled small team are also relevant to this compact route.
