UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council is procuring special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) client transport services for Fox Grove School. The requirement is for transport for one pupil living in the RH6 postcode area, with one passenger assistant to support behaviour during the journey. The service requires a medium multi-purpose vehicle with seven passenger seats. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The work is associated with the pupil’s journey to and from Fox Grove School and involves providing suitable transport and behavioural support for a child with additional needs. Suppliers operating accessible, reliable and appropriately managed school or social care transport services would find the requirement relevant.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Surrey County Council awarded the single lot to Forge Mobility Services Limited on 12 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active. It runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029, with a gross value of £158,840. The council’s published requirement was for one pupil, one passenger assistant and one seven-seat medium MPV. The award covers the transport service for Fox Grove School. The contract is below the applicable threshold, and the procurement used a limited rather than open competition.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist school transport combining vehicle provision, passenger assistance and behavioural support for a single SEND pupil. A credible competitor for similar work would need a suitable seven-seat medium MPV, dependable route planning and the operational capacity to provide consistent journeys over a school-year service period. It would also need staff able to act as passenger assistants and manage behaviour safely and appropriately while transporting a child with additional needs. Experience delivering school, SEND, social care or other passenger transport services would help demonstrate suitability. Suppliers should be able to coordinate closely with Surrey County Council and Fox Grove School and maintain reliable day-to-day service delivery.
