UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for two pupils with special educational needs and disabilities travelling to Aurora Redehall School. The requirement is transport between the pupils’ homes in the RH6 postcode area and the school at RH6 9QA. The specified vehicle is a multi-purpose vehicle with six passenger seats, making this a small-scale, dedicated passenger transport service rather than general public transport or fleet supply. The work falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. Suppliers relevant to this requirement are operators able to provide a suitable six-passenger-seat MPV and organise regular journeys for school pupils in the Surrey area, particularly around the RH6 locality and Aurora Redehall School. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation and public authority responsible for the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was run as a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It involved one lot. The contract was awarded to Forge Mobility Services Limited, with an active award and an active contract. The award was made on 4 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £6,384,000 including taxes. The stated evaluation basis is reflected in the limited competition procedure; the available procurement information identifies the service requirement and vehicle specification but does not set out separate scoring criteria. The arrangement covers client transport services for the specified SEND journey to Aurora Redehall School.

This procurement demonstrates sustained demand from Surrey County Council for contracted transport supporting pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to operate a six-passenger-seat MPV and deliver dependable, regular journeys for a small number of pupils between the RH6 area and Aurora Redehall School. Relevant experience would include providing pupil or other client transport on a dedicated route, managing vehicle availability over a school-term service, and maintaining reliable links between residential areas and a named school. The successful supplier, Forge Mobility Services Limited, was classified as a large organisation, indicating that the council’s route can be delivered by an established transport operator. Suppliers with suitable vehicles, local coverage and operational capacity for recurring school journeys would be well placed.
