Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned child mainstream transport by taxi or multi-purpose vehicle, with capacity for one to eight passengers. The service is for transporting children and is classified as transport services. The contract covers the standard transport lot within the council’s wider client transport programme. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate, and the transport service is for the council’s requirements in Surrey. This is a specific, small-vehicle passenger transport requirement rather than a general fleet, coach or goods transport contract. The recorded scope identifies the vehicle type and passenger capacity, but does not describe individual routes or journey arrangements.

The procurement is complete and awarded. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. UK Car Service was selected and holds an active contract. The contract was signed on 2 October 2026, with delivery running from 7 October 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £12,432 gross. The procurement was divided into one standard taxi/MPV transport lot for child mainstream journeys. The published information does not give a separate award date, evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions, so the outcome and the limited-competition route are the recorded basis for understanding how this purchase was made.

This award shows demand from Surrey County Council for child mainstream passenger transport using taxis or MPVs carrying up to eight passengers. A supplier competing for a comparable requirement would need to provide dependable small-vehicle transport suited to children and demonstrate the capacity to deliver the council’s transport service. The selected provider is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that a smaller supplier was able to secure this individual requirement. The purchase was made through limited competition and was modest in scale, so relevant local transport operators with suitable vehicles and the ability to meet the buyer’s requirements are the closest commercial fit. The buyer and service type provide a clear reference point for firms specialising in passenger transport for children.
