UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services using standard taxi or multi-purpose vehicle provision for one to eight passenger seats. The requirement is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply or construction work, covering journeys associated with the council’s child transport responsibilities. The council is the buyer, with the service delivered for its transport operations in Surrey. The procurement was for a single standard transport requirement, covering taxi or MPV journeys for children. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are passenger transport operators with suitable small vehicles and the ability to provide reliable, child-focused transport services for a public-sector client.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 14 September 2026 and awarded to AK carz Ltd. The contract is active from 16 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £6,791.50 including tax. The award covers transport services, classified under CPV 60000000, and relates to one lot for standard taxi or MPV transport with one to eight passenger seats. The published outcome identifies AK carz Ltd as the selected supplier. The recorded procurement route was limited competition rather than an open tender.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for small-vehicle passenger transport supporting children’s mainstream journeys for Surrey County Council. A credible competing supplier would need access to taxi or MPV vehicles seating between one and eight passengers, together with the operational capacity to provide dependable scheduled transport for children. Relevant strengths include managing individual or recurring journeys, coordinating drivers and vehicles, maintaining service continuity, and meeting the practical safeguarding and reliability expectations associated with transporting children. The successful supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that this type of council transport requirement can suit a smaller specialist operator. Passenger transport businesses serving Surrey and able to organise responsive local operations are the closest fit for comparable future requirements.
