This procurement, classified under transport services, aimed to provide school transport for special education needs and disabilities (SEND) within the Reigate area, specifically starting from September 2026 until July 2029. The procurement method employed was limited, with the aim of engaging in a below-threshold, limited competition. The key locations involved in this contract include schools and student locations in Horley and Redhill, Surrey. The procurement's objective was to secure the services of a supplier in the transport services sector, with Forge Mobility Services Limited being awarded the contract, valued at £12,464,000.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in transport services.
