Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, a regional authority responsible for general public services, has completed the "Child Mainstream" procurement process, awarding a transport services contract. Located in the UK, specifically Kingston upon Thames in the UKG13 region, this procurement falls under the services category with a classification for transport services excluding waste transport. The process was conducted through an open procedure and was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). The tender reached its award stage on 18 March 2026, with the contract being signed on the same day. The total value of the contract awarded to Lima Cars, a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME), amounts to 6,602.4 GBP.

This procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in transport services to expand their portfolio and strengthen their market presence. The "Child Mainstream" contract, although specific in its requirements, can serve as a stepping stone for SMEs eager to gain traction in public sector projects, particularly those that demonstrate strong quality attributes and competitive pricing. Companies with expertise in transport services, operating within or near the UKG13 region, and possessing capability and qualifications in line with this procurement's award criteria, would be well-positioned to pursue similar contracts in the future. Business growth can thus be nurtured by leveraging the experience and reputation garnered through successful participation in such public procurement processes.
