UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for four pupils attending Fox Grove school under its special educational needs and disabilities transport requirement. The service covers pupils living in the RH6 postcode area and requires one passenger assistant for the journey. The vehicle requirement is a large multi-purpose vehicle with seven or eight passenger seats. This is a passenger transport service rather than a supply of vehicles, with the operator responsible for providing suitable transport and the accompanying passenger assistant. The requirement is specific to transporting school pupils with additional support needs, so it is most relevant to operators with experience in assisted school transport, passenger safety and reliable scheduled journeys in and around Surrey and the RH6 area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Forge Mobility Services Limited was selected as the supplier for the single requirement. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026, runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, and is valued at £184,680. The procurement was for transport services and used a limited procedure. The award covers the full requirement for Fox Grove school, including transport for four pupils, a passenger assistant and a large seven- or eight-seat MPV. The contract is active, while the tender itself is recorded as complete. No separate lot-specific awards or alternative suppliers are recorded.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist school transport supporting pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would be able to provide a suitably sized MPV, recruit or assign a passenger assistant, and operate dependable scheduled journeys for a small group of pupils. Relevant capability includes safeguarding, passenger assistance, careful management of vulnerable passengers, punctuality and contingency arrangements for vehicle or staffing problems. Local knowledge of Surrey and the RH6 area would support efficient operation, while experience transporting children to school would help demonstrate credibility. The limited-competition route also indicates that suppliers need to be visible to the council and prepared to respond to focused, below-threshold transport requirements.
