UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist passenger transport services for Aurora Redehall School. The requirement covers transport for two pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, with no passenger assistant required. The service uses a saloon vehicle and serves pupils living in the RH8 postcode area. The work is classified as transport services and is delivered for the council’s education-related client transport requirement. This is a single-school, individual-route service rather than a broad transport network operation. Suppliers need to be able to provide reliable pupil transport using an appropriate saloon vehicle and operate routes connected with the RH8 area and Aurora Redehall School.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It used a light-touch regime and comprised one lot. Forge Mobility Services Limited was awarded the contract on 13 August 2026 for £73,720 gross, with the contract signed the same day. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies transport services as the procurement category. The available award information does not set out a separate scored evaluation breakdown, so the confirmed basis is the limited competition route rather than a stated weighting between price, quality or other criteria.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for focused SEND pupil transport linked to a named school and a defined residential area. A credible future competitor would need experience delivering dependable journeys for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, a suitable saloon vehicle, and the operational capacity to transport two pupils without a passenger assistant. Local knowledge of the RH8 area and the route to Aurora Redehall School would be commercially relevant. The requirement also demonstrates that the council uses a below-threshold limited competition for this type of small, route-specific service. Providers able to combine compliant vehicle provision, dependable scheduling and school-route coordination would be well placed when comparable work returns to market.
