Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, a sub-central government authority based in Kingston upon Thames, has recently completed the contract award for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - Child Mainstream" project. This procurement falls under the transport services industry category and focuses on providing transport for one child to Merrow CE Infant School in Guildford, utilising a saloon car. The procurement process was carried out under a limited, below-threshold competition, highlighting a specialised, light-touch regime. MPCars, located in Woking, has been awarded the contract valued at £126,857, which became active on 15th June 2026, with the procurement stage completed as of 14th July 2026.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services by providing sustained business over an eight-year period. Companies with expertise in children's transportation services and the capability to comply with government standards would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in future iterations. Large-scale suppliers in the transport sector, with previous experience in handling sub-central government contracts, such as MPCars, are likely to find viable opportunities for growth and expansion in this specialised market.
