Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers. The service is for transporting children as part of the council’s client transport provision. The work falls within passenger transport services. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate, and the supplier is Surrey Link Transport, located in Epsom. The procurement was divided into one lot for standard taxi/MPV transport. No individual routes, collection points or delivery locations are described, so the stated scope is the transport service rather than a defined set of journeys.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Surrey Link Transport. The contract was signed on 23 September 2026, with a contract period from 1 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its gross value is £77,412.86. This was a below-threshold limited competition, covering one lot for standard taxi/MPV transport for children. The data records the award as active and the contract as active. No award date or evaluation criteria are recorded, so the selection basis cannot be described. The award was made under the light-touch regime.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for mainstream transport for children in taxis or MPVs seating up to eight passengers, procured through limited competition below the applicable threshold. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide suitable passenger vehicles and the operational capacity to deliver child transport for the council. The selected supplier is a large transport business, indicating that the award went to a supplier able to undertake this service at an established commercial scale. The published scope does not set out specific qualifications, accreditations, staffing requirements or service standards, so these cannot be treated as proven selection requirements. The relevant market is council-organised child passenger transport, rather than general transport work.
