## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), under the Client Transport Services 2026–2034 requirement. The awarded service covers Woodlands School and involves transporting two pupils, with one passenger assistant and one saloon car. The route connects Copthorne in Crawley with Leatherhead. The schedule has a specific pattern: the pupil travelling from Copthorne travels both ways on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and in the afternoon on Mondays and Wednesdays. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local authority, and the operational locations are Copthorne, Crawley, Leatherhead and Woodlands School.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. It used a limited procedure under the light-touch regime, with one lot. The contract was awarded to Forge Mobility Services Limited and signed on 6 August 2026. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a gross value of £4,138,714. The award covers transport services for the single lot and the evaluation was conducted through the limited competition route. The procurement is below the applicable threshold. The contract title is Client Transport Services 2026–2034–SEND, although the recorded contract period is the 2026–2027 school-year period. Surrey County Council is the buyer and Forge Mobility Services Limited is the selected supplier.

This procurement shows established local-authority demand for specialised SEND passenger transport on school routes, delivered through a below-threshold limited competition. A credible competitor for a future requirement from Surrey County Council would need to organise reliable transport for pupils between Copthorne, Crawley and Leatherhead, including the Woodlands School service. The requirement indicates a need to provide a saloon car, allocate a passenger assistant and manage transport for two pupils. Operational planning would need to accommodate different journeys on different weekdays: return travel on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and afternoon travel on Mondays and Wednesdays for the Copthorne pupil. Suppliers with suitable passenger-transport capacity, dependable scheduling and the ability to support individual SEND travel arrangements would be best placed to compete when this requirement returns.
