UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for Moor House School, supporting three students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers transport between the students’ locations in Horley and Lingfield and the school in Oxted. It is a passenger transport service using one saloon vehicle with four passenger seats. The service does not require a personal assistant. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. This is a focused school transport requirement rather than a general bus or fleet operation, and is relevant to operators able to provide regular, safe and reliable individual or small-group journeys for children and young people with SEND in Surrey and the surrounding area.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Forge Mobility Services Limited. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime, with one lot. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £86,477.14 including tax, in total for the contract. The selected supplier is responsible for the transport service for Moor House School. The procurement’s recorded status is complete, while the resulting contract is active. The available outcome records identify the selected supplier and contract value; they do not state a separate award date or a detailed scoring breakdown for the evaluation.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist school transport serving three SEND students across Horley, Lingfield and Oxted, using a single four-seat saloon and no personal assistant. A credible competitor for this buyer’s comparable requirements would need dependable access to an appropriate passenger vehicle, the operational capacity to provide scheduled journeys between home locations and school, and robust arrangements for safeguarding, punctuality, passenger care and service continuity. Local knowledge of Surrey routes and the ability to coordinate journeys for children with additional needs would be commercially relevant. The procurement also shows that Surrey County Council has used a below-threshold limited competition for a focused transport service, so suppliers should be prepared to respond efficiently to targeted competitions rather than only large fleet tenders.
