Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has procured child mainstream transport using standard taxi or multi-purpose vehicle services, for vehicles with capacity for one to eight passengers. The work is classified as transport services and concerns the council’s Client Transport Services programme. This requirement is for passenger journeys for children, rather than goods transport or larger-scale coach provision. The named buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate, Surrey. The process covers one lot for standard taxi/MPV transport. The contract title identifies the wider programme as covering 2026 to 2034, although the contract awarded here has a shorter defined period. The supplier selected for this requirement is A25 Cars Limited, based in Oxted.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to A25 Cars Limited. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £93,042.86 including VAT. The award is for one lot covering standard taxi/MPV transport for children, with vehicles seating one to eight passengers. The award is active and the contract is active. The published procurement data does not set out an evaluation basis or specific eligibility conditions, so the award outcome establishes the selected supplier and contract scope but not the scoring method or required qualifications.

This award shows Surrey County Council buys child mainstream passenger transport through standard taxi and MPV provision, with a small-vehicle capacity of one to eight seats, rather than general goods transport or coach services. A supplier seeking to be credible for this specific requirement would need to demonstrate the ability to provide suitable taxis or MPVs and reliably deliver passenger journeys for children. The award went to A25 Cars Limited, a transport supplier based in Oxted, indicating that a provider operating in or able to serve Surrey is relevant. The competed requirement is a single-lot service, so businesses should assess whether they can support the full defined transport requirement rather than assume it is divided into smaller lots. The published award does not identify specific accreditations or technical thresholds.
