The procurement process centred around Surrey County Council's initiative titled "Child Mainstream," focusing on transport services within the UKG13 region, located in Kingston upon Thames, United Kingdom. This contract, categorised under services, reached the award stage as of 29th July 2025, following an open procurement method. This process was part of the General Procurement Agreement (GPA), and the contract was subsequently awarded to XP Cars Limited T/AS Express Cars with a contract value of GBP 73,235. The selection criteria weighted quality and price differently, with price having a substantial impact on the decision at 95%. The tender saw a competitive environment with 21 bids submitted.

This procurement represents a strategic opportunity for transport service providers looking to expand their operations within regional local authorities.
