UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel to Aurora Redehall School. The requirement covers two pupils, travelling without a passenger assistant, in a saloon vehicle. The pupils live in the RH1 postcode area, so the service involves collecting and transporting them from that area to the school and supporting their scheduled school journeys. The procurement is for transport services rather than vehicle supply, construction or general passenger transport. It is a council requirement delivered around the school and the pupils’ home area, making it most relevant to operators with suitable saloon vehicles, dependable school transport operations and the ability to manage regular journeys for children with SEND. The selected provider is based in Horsham, while the buyer is Surrey County Council.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. One lot was awarded to Forge Mobility Services Limited on 13 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active, running from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its awarded value is £73,720 gross, including any applicable taxes, in GBP. The award covers transport services for the two-pupil Aurora Redehall School requirement. The contract title describes the wider service period as 2026–2034, but the awarded contract period recorded here ends on 31 July 2029. The procurement used a limited method rather than an open competition, and the published outcome identifies Forge Mobility Services Limited as the sole awarded supplier for the lot.

This award shows Surrey County Council’s demand for relatively small, dedicated SEND school transport arrangements: two pupils, no passenger assistant and a saloon vehicle serving the RH1 area and Aurora Redehall School. A competitor seeking similar work from this buyer would need dependable access to an appropriate saloon car, capacity for regular school journeys and operational coverage around the pupils’ home area and destination school. Reliability, consistent driver availability and the ability to deliver a safeguarding-conscious service for children with SEND would be important credibility factors, although the procurement data does not state specific accreditations or qualifications. The use of a below-threshold limited competition indicates that suppliers able to respond to tightly scoped council transport requirements through a restricted route may be well placed when comparable needs return.
