UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement covers transport for two pupils, with no passenger assistants, using one saloon car. The service relates to journeys between Charlwood and Lingfield in Surrey. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general haulage requirement. It is relevant to operators that can provide reliable individual or small-scale school transport using a suitable saloon car and manage journeys involving children with additional needs. The council is the buyer, and the requirement sits within its wider client transport services programme.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. The single lot is complete. Surrey County Council awarded the service to Forge Mobility Services Limited on 20 August 2026. The contract is active, was signed on 20 August 2026, and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its gross value is £26,164.29, including any applicable taxes, in GBP. The procurement used the services category and a light-touch regime. The stated route was limited competition; the available outcome identifies the selected supplier and the awarded service, but does not set out a separate scoring or weighting basis.

For a transport operator, this award demonstrates a defined local requirement for SEND pupil journeys using a single saloon car and no passenger assistant. A credible future competitor would need to organise dependable school transport for two pupils, cover the Charlwood and Lingfield route, and demonstrate that it can manage the practical responsibilities of transporting children with additional needs. The small, clearly bounded requirement may suit an operator with a local vehicle and capacity for regular education-related journeys, rather than a provider focused only on large fleets or group transport. The selected supplier is a large business, showing that the council’s limited-competition route can attract established transport providers as well as smaller local operators.
