UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for three students attending Serenity School in Crawley. The service supports children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), transporting students from Redhill and Reigate to the school in Crawley. The requirement includes one personal assistant for harmony and one medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle with seven passenger seats. The work is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. It is a single requirement for the council, covering the specified student journeys and associated passenger support between the Surrey locations and Crawley.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Forge Mobility Services Limited. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 20 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £131,867.14 gross, inclusive of any applicable taxes. One contract covers the single lot. The awarded supplier is Forge Mobility Services Limited. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available outcome records identify the successful supplier but do not set out separate quality, price or other scoring criteria.

This requirement is relevant to operators experienced in SEND passenger transport, particularly those able to provide safe, reliable journeys for a small number of students between Redhill, Reigate and Crawley. A credible competitor would need suitable medium-sized vehicles with seven passenger seats, the ability to provide a personal assistant for passenger support, and practical arrangements for regular school transport. Experience supporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities would help demonstrate an understanding of safeguarding, passenger welfare, punctuality and consistent communication with the council and school. The award shows demand for a dedicated, relatively small-scale transport service from Surrey County Council, delivered by a large specialist mobility provider, and indicates the operational capability needed when comparable services return to the market.
