UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport services under its Client Transport Services programme. This requirement covers standard transport using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with between one and eight passenger seats. The service is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport, and is intended to carry children as part of the Council’s mainstream transport arrangements. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate, and the service relates to delivery within Surrey. The awarded requirement concerns one defined service lot, rather than a broad transport framework. It is relevant to taxi operators, private hire companies and other passenger transport businesses that can provide small-vehicle journeys for children under a local-authority transport arrangement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Allianz Cars LTD was awarded the contract for the child mainstream taxi/MPV transport requirement. The contract was signed on 11 September 2026, starts on 14 September 2026 and runs until 31 July 2030. Its value is £55,618.46. The award was for services and was evaluated through the limited competition process. The tender was recorded as complete and the award is active. This is a single-lot outcome, covering the standard transport requirement for vehicles with one to eight passenger seats. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council.

For a competing supplier, this award demonstrates established demand from Surrey County Council for small-vehicle transport serving children in mainstream education. Businesses best placed for a future requirement of this kind would be taxi or private hire operators with access to suitable cars or MPVs, the operational capacity to manage repeated passenger journeys, and the ability to organise dependable service across Surrey. Experience of delivering contracted passenger transport for a public authority would help demonstrate credibility, particularly where the requirement covers multiple journeys and child passengers. The relevant commercial capability is focused and practical: suitable vehicles, reliable scheduling, local coverage and the capacity to maintain service over a sustained contract. The awarded scale also indicates a requirement suited to an established local operator rather than only a large transport fleet.
