UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council bought child mainstream transport by taxi or multi-purpose vehicle, with capacity for one to eight passengers. The requirement is described as standard transport and concerns journeys for children; the procurement data does not give further route or journey details. The buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. No delivery location is identified, so the council’s base should not be taken as the transport destination. This is a transport services requirement, rather than a purchase of vehicles. The award is for one lot covering this category of child transport.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to HomeSafe Transport Ltd. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £12,535.71, including gross value as reported. The award is active and the contract is active. The process covered one lot, for standard taxi or MPV transport for children, with vehicles carrying one to eight passengers. No award evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are recorded in the available process details, so the basis on which the supplier was selected cannot be described further.

This award shows that Surrey County Council purchases child mainstream transport through a limited competition for a specific taxi or MPV requirement. A credible competitor for similar work would need to provide suitable vehicles with capacity for up to eight passengers and the operational ability to transport children reliably. The small, single-lot requirement points to a service that may suit a local or regional operator able to cover the council’s actual journeys, though the routes are not detailed here. The successful supplier is a transport company, indicating that relevant transport delivery capability is central to this work. Suppliers assessing future requirements from this buyer should consider whether they can meet child-transport needs and compete for a focused service contract.
