UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured enhanced-needs transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), using taxis or multi-purpose vehicles with 1–8 passenger seats and a passenger assistant. The service is part of the council’s client transport provision. The successful supplier is Forge Mobility Services Limited. The transport work is associated with Surrey County Council; Reigate is the council’s stated locality.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Forge Mobility Services Limited. The contract was signed on 30 September 2026 and runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £42,548.57 including tax. The council used a below-threshold limited competition. The procurement was arranged as one lot, covering enhanced-needs taxi or MPV transport with a passenger assistant. The published data identifies the transport service and successful supplier but does not set out evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For suppliers considering comparable future requirements from Surrey County Council, this award demonstrates demand for SEND transport using small taxis or MPVs, with a passenger assistant included in the service. A credible provider would need to deliver safe, dependable passenger transport for people with enhanced needs, supply vehicles seating between one and eight passengers, and provide suitably capable passenger assistants. The award was made through limited competition below the applicable threshold, so suppliers should be prepared for a competitive process involving a restricted field rather than assume an unrestricted tender. The contract is modest in scale and time-limited, making it most relevant to operators able to provide focused local transport capacity and coordinate vehicles and passenger assistance for the council’s service.
