## Summary

Surrey County Council procured child mainstream client transport services under Lot 1: standard taxi or MPV transport for vehicles carrying 1 to 8 passenger seats. The service falls within passenger transport services and is intended to support children travelling for council purposes. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority based in Surrey. Delivery is associated with the council’s local transport requirements, with the successful supplier, XPERT CARS, based in Epsom. The requirement is therefore relevant to taxi, private hire, minicab and small passenger-vehicle operators able to provide reliable child transport using vehicles within the specified seating range. It is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project.

This procurement has been awarded and the process is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. XPERT CARS was awarded the contract on 14 September 2026. The contract was signed on the same date, is active, and runs from 15 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its value is £21,873.86 gross. The procurement had one completed lot covering standard taxi or MPV transport for 1 to 8 passenger seats. The award relates to transport services, and the published outcome identifies XPERT CARS as the selected supplier. The stated procurement title describes a wider 2026–2034 client transport programme, but this awarded contract covers the period and value set out above.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates continuing council demand for small-vehicle child transport delivered through a limited competition route. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxis or MPVs carrying between 1 and 8 passengers and be able to provide dependable mainstream child transport for a local authority. The requirement is suited to established small or medium-sized operators with access to compliant passenger vehicles, sufficient driver and vehicle capacity, and the operational discipline to deliver regular journeys safely and reliably. XPERT CARS is identified as an SME supplier, indicating that this scale of council transport can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator rather than only by a large transport group. Experience in council or child passenger services would strengthen a comparable bid.
