UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND): complex health journeys by taxi or multi-purpose vehicle, with a personal assistant accompanying passengers. This is a passenger transport service, rather than vehicle supply or general taxi provision. The requirement sits within the council’s wider client transport services programme and concerns its complex health transport strand. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council. The contract is for transport services associated with the council’s SEND responsibilities; no delivery place is identified in the published procurement details.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Forge Mobility Services Limited. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. The award is recorded as active, and the contract was signed on 22 October 2026. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 30 July 2027. Its stated value is £38,378.57 including VAT. The requirement is identified as one lot, for complex health transport by taxi or MPV with a personal assistant, and the recorded lot and award are complete. No award date is recorded separately from the contract signature date, and no evaluation criteria are set out in the procurement details.

The award shows a defined requirement for SEND passenger transport where journeys involve complex health needs and require a personal assistant as well as a taxi or MPV. Suppliers competing for this buyer’s comparable requirement would need to demonstrate that they can provide suitable vehicles, organise reliable passenger transport and supply appropriately capable accompanying staff. The service is distinct from ordinary taxi work: the combination of health-related complexity, SEND passengers and personal assistance is central to the requirement. The selected supplier was a large company, indicating that a provider able to meet the operational demands of a dedicated service is represented in the outcome. This contract provides evidence of Surrey County Council’s purchasing route for this service: a limited competition below the applicable threshold.
