UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service uses taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with one to eight passenger seats, accompanied by a passenger assistant. The requirement is for passenger transport rather than vehicle supply alone, combining appropriate vehicles with an assistant for each journey. The buyer is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. No delivery location is stated, so the service area cannot be identified from the available procurement details.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active; Forge Mobility Services Limited was selected. The contract was signed on 24 September 2026 and runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £188,141.43. The requirement was handled as a below-threshold limited competition. The published information identifies one completed lot for enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport with a passenger assistant. No evaluation criteria or specific eligibility conditions are set out in the procurement details.

This award indicates a defined requirement for SEND passenger transport using taxis or MPVs with up to eight passenger seats and a passenger assistant. Suppliers seeking to compete for similar work with Surrey County Council would need to demonstrate that they can provide both suitable vehicles and passenger-assistant support as an integrated service. The award went to a large supplier, showing that a provider able to take on the requirement at this scale was selected; it does not establish that only large businesses can deliver it. The procurement used limited competition, so suppliers should be prepared to qualify for and participate in a restricted route rather than assume an open tender. The requirement is specifically SEND transport, not general passenger transport.
