## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport for three children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) attending St Stephens C of E Primary School. The service involves transporting three students from Lingfield to the school in Godstone, with one passenger assistant and a saloon car providing four passenger seats. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The requirement is specific to scheduled journeys for these pupils and combines vehicle provision, safe transport and passenger support. It would suit operators experienced in school or assisted passenger transport, particularly those able to coordinate journeys between Lingfield and Godstone and provide suitable staffing for children with additional needs.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Forge Mobility Services Limited. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award is active and covers one requirement. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026, starts on 1 September 2026 and ends on 31 July 2028. Its value is £7,938,643 gross. The award date is 6 August 2026. The selected supplier is responsible for the transport service described, including the vehicle and passenger assistant provision. The process was limited rather than an open competition, and the published outcome records the council as the buyer and Forge Mobility Services Limited as the awarded supplier.

This procurement demonstrates substantial, sustained demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport, combining a suitable passenger vehicle with passenger-assistant support. Suppliers would need dependable operations for regular journeys involving children with additional needs, appropriate safeguarding and care arrangements, and the ability to provide trained passenger assistants. Credible competitors would also need access to saloon vehicles with sufficient passenger capacity, robust scheduling and dispatch, contingency arrangements for vehicle or staff absence, and experience working with schools, councils or families. Local knowledge of the Lingfield and Godstone area would support reliable delivery, while clear procedures for safeguarding, communication, journey records and incident management would strengthen a future service offer to this buyer.
