UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers transport for five pupils attending Furzefield Primary School in Redhill. Four pupils are located in Horley and one in Redhill, with journeys to the school in Redhill. The service requires one medium-sized passenger vehicle with seven passenger seats and one passenger assistant. The passenger assistant must be trained in first aid and seizure awareness for epilepsy, with seizure-awareness training completed and no emergency medication requirement identified. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate, and delivery takes place between Horley, Redhill and Furzefield Primary School.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It consisted of one lot. Forge Mobility Services Limited was awarded the contract on 4 August 2026, with an awarded and contracted value of £12,464,000 gross. The contract was signed on 4 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award is active and the contract is active. The contracting process was evaluated through the limited competition route. The recorded procurement is for the full client transport requirement covering the five-pupil school journey arrangement, rather than a general transport framework or a multi-lot service.

This requirement is relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide reliable, safeguarding-focused school journeys for pupils with SEND. A credible supplier would need access to a seven-seat medium passenger vehicle, the operational capacity to transport five pupils between Horley and Redhill, and the ability to coordinate journeys to Furzefield Primary School. It would also need a passenger assistant trained in first aid and seizure awareness for epilepsy, with the required training completed before service delivery. Experience in assisted school transport, SEND passenger care, route planning and working with schools and local authorities would strengthen a future response. The award shows that Surrey County Council buys tailored, small-group transport with dedicated passenger-assistant support, rather than standard public bus services.
