Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream transport using standard taxi and multi-purpose vehicle services, for vehicles with 1–8 passenger seats. The requirement falls within passenger transport services and concerns transport for children travelling on mainstream routes. The named buying organisation is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate, Surrey. The procurement was organised as a single lot. The service is a specific part of the council’s client transport programme, rather than a general vehicle hire or fleet purchase requirement.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to uk car service. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £26,360.71. The award is active, and the contract is recorded as active. The procurement covered one lot for standard taxi/MPV transport for children travelling on mainstream routes. No award evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are recorded in the published details. The contracting process is governed by the Procurement Act 2023.

For suppliers preparing for this buyer’s recurring child mainstream transport requirement, the successful operator is a small business providing taxi and MPV transport. A credible competitor would need access to suitable vehicles with capacity for 1–8 passengers and the operational ability to deliver transport for children on mainstream routes. The requirement indicates a modest, focused service package rather than a large fleet or broad transport network contract. Experience in passenger transport and the ability to organise reliable vehicle provision for child journeys would be relevant capabilities to demonstrate when comparable work is next procured. The council used limited competition for this below-threshold requirement, so suppliers should be ready to participate through a restricted competitive route.
