UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for a SEND passenger under the Client Transport Services 2026–2034 programme. The requirement covered transport for one student, with no personal assistant, using a saloon car with four passenger seats. The student was located in Horley and needed transport to Eastwick Infant School in Leatherhead, so the service connected those two places. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or general school transport contract. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a public authority responsible for arranging the service. The procurement’s service classification is transport services, excluding waste transport. The requirement was organised as a single completed service lot.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Forge Mobility Services Limited was awarded the contract on 5 August 2026, with an awarded and contracted value of £9,044,000 gross. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The contract is active. The process concerned one lot, covering the transport requirement for the Eastwick Infant School student. The published outcome identifies Forge Mobility Services Limited as the successful supplier. The available procurement information does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings.

This award demonstrates a substantial, multi-year requirement for managed SEND school transport by Surrey County Council, with the operational detail centred on a single passenger, a defined school journey and a small saloon vehicle. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work from this buyer would need to provide reliable passenger transport between Horley and Leatherhead, deploy suitable four-passenger saloon vehicles and manage school travel for children with special educational needs and disabilities. The absence of a personal assistant requirement in this service indicates that the vehicle and driver arrangement must meet the stated journey need without that additional role. Credibility would come from dependable route planning, safeguarding-focused school transport delivery and the capacity to deliver the specified service consistently.
