Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport using standard taxi or multi-purpose vehicle services, with capacity for one to eight passengers. The requirement falls within passenger transport services and concerns transport for children travelling to mainstream provision. The buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. This is one lot within the council’s wider Client Transport Services programme. The procurement information identifies the service type and passenger capacity but does not give individual routes, journey schedules or named delivery addresses, so the defined scope is the provision of child mainstream transport by taxi or MPV.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to STL. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026, with a contract period from 28 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its stated gross value is £25,598.21. The contract is active and covers one lot for standard taxi/MPV transport for children travelling to mainstream provision. The published outcome identifies the selected supplier and contract value, but gives no award date separately from the signature date, nor a detailed evaluation or scoring basis. This award records the result of the competition; it is not an opportunity to submit a bid for this contract.

For suppliers of child transport, this award shows Surrey County Council buying standard taxi or MPV journeys for children attending mainstream provision, with vehicles sized for one to eight passengers. A credible competitor would need to demonstrate access to appropriately sized vehicles and the operational capacity to provide dependable child passenger transport. Firms experienced in arranging and delivering similar services would be best placed to respond to a comparable requirement from this buyer. The award was made through a limited competition below the applicable threshold, so suppliers should be prepared to compete through a buyer-managed, restricted route rather than assume an open tender. The contract provides evidence of a defined, single-lot requirement, rather than a large multi-lot transport programme.
