UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialised transport services for Bramley Oak Academy in Surrey, under its SEND client transport programme. The requirement is a Monday-to-Friday MPV service carrying two children: one travelling from Horley and one from Redhill to the academy in Bramley. The service may require a booster seat for the child from Horley and either a high-back booster or booster seat for the child from Redhill. This is passenger transport for children with special educational needs and disabilities, rather than general school transport. The relevant category is transport services, excluding waste transport. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It used a limited procedure under the light-touch regime and covered one lot. Forge Mobility Services Limited was awarded the contract on 6 August 2026, with the contract signed on the same date. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2027 and has an awarded value of £3,630,000 gross, including any applicable taxes, in GBP. The contract is active. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition process; the published information does not set out separate award criteria or weightings. Surrey County Council is the buyer and Forge Mobility Services Limited is the selected supplier.

This opportunity indicates substantial demand from Surrey County Council for managed SEND passenger transport serving individual education routes. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need suitable MPV vehicles, the operational capacity to provide reliable weekday journeys, and experience transporting children safely between named Surrey communities and schools. They would also need procedures for matching vehicles and staff to individual passenger needs, including supplying or accommodating booster and high-back booster seats where required. Credibility would depend on dependable route planning, safeguarding-aware operations, punctual daily service and the ability to manage separate pick-up locations for a small number of passengers. Passenger transport operators familiar with council education services and light-touch public procurement would be relevant competitors.
