UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The recent public procurement process initiated by Surrey County Council, located in Kingston upon Thames, involved the procurement of Client Transport Services for the period 2026 to 2034, specifically focusing on Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The procurement falls under the transport services industry category and was executed through a limited competition due to being below the threshold. The contract has been awarded to Forge Mobility Services Limited, based in Horsham. The procurement culminated in an award on the 28th of May, 2026, with the contract set to begin on the 1st of June, 2026, continuing until the 31st of July, 2028. This procurement is part of a 'light-touch' regime and involves transport from Amberley Court School in Crawley.

This tender presents growth opportunities primarily for businesses in the transport services sector that can offer specialised services for SEND transport needs. Companies that are capable of fulfilling contractual requirements like providing vehicles and trained personnel to administer epi-pens are well-suited to compete in such tenders. The requirement for a saloon vehicle and a trained personal assistant highlights potential collaboration opportunities. This contract, valued at £3,559,500, signifies not only a substantial business opportunity but also the chance to specialise further in SEND transport, strengthening business credentials in this niche market.
