UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services under its standard transport provision. This requirement covers taxi and multipurpose vehicle journeys carrying between one and eight passenger seats, for children travelling to mainstream education or related destinations. The service category is passenger transport services (CPV 60000000). Delivery is associated with Surrey County Council and the surrounding Surrey area, with the council acting as the buyer. The awarded requirement is specifically for Lot 1, covering standard taxi or MPV transport rather than larger coaches, specialist vehicle fleets or general passenger transport. It is therefore relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and transport providers able to provide reliable small-vehicle journeys for children within Surrey.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected STL as the supplier. The contract was signed and awarded on 18 September 2026, with an active contract period from 21 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. The awarded value is £18,942.86 including gross value, for the child mainstream standard transport requirement. The tender was run under the light-touch regime and relates to one completed lot. The published outcome records an active award and active contract, so this is an awarded procurement rather than an opportunity for new bids. The process used a limited competition rather than an open tender.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for small-vehicle child transport serving mainstream education. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxis or MPVs with capacity for one to eight passengers and be able to deliver dependable scheduled journeys for children. Local knowledge of Surrey routes and the practical capacity to provide repeated school-related transport would be commercially relevant. The selected supplier was recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by an established transport business with sufficient operational capacity. Taxi companies, private-hire operators and transport firms with suitable vehicles and reliable driver coverage should monitor this buyer’s comparable requirements and prepare evidence of their ability to provide consistent small-scale passenger transport.
