About
Achieving for Children Community Interest Company awarded a contract to London Hire for the direct award of a two-year lease contract for the provision of specialist adapted minibuses to support statutory SEND transport across Kingston and Richmond.
The contract, valued at £1,300,000, was procured via a negotiated procedure without prior publication under Regulation 32(2)(b)(ii) PCR 2015 to secure an interim contract with the incumbent provider, ensuring continuity of service with minimal disruption to children, young people, and their families while a wider transformation project of SEND Transport is completed in line with the Council's climate strategy.
Award criteria were pass/fail based on satisfactory account of price and quality.
