## Summary

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for a SEND placement. The requirement covers one student travelling between Horley and Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee School in Horsham, with one passenger assistant required. The student has epilepsy but does not require emergency medication. The vehicle must provide eight passenger seats, indicating a need for suitable accessible or otherwise appropriate passenger transport and safe support for a child with additional needs. The service is classified as transport services, excluding waste transport. The work is delivered on the journey between Horley (RH6) and the school in Horsham (RH13), for Surrey County Council as the buying organisation. The selected provider is Forge Mobility Services Limited, based in Horsham.

This procurement has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The tender is complete and one supplier was selected: Forge Mobility Services Limited. The contract was signed on 21 August 2026 and is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £158,840 gross, including the full stated contract value, and it is below the applicable threshold. The requirement was arranged as a single lot. The award covers the transport service for the SEND school journey described. The published information identifies the limited-competition route and the service category, but does not set out separate scored evaluation criteria or a further award rationale.

This requirement shows demand for a specialist school transport operator able to provide safe, reliable journeys for children with special educational needs between Horley and Horsham. A credible future competitor would need suitable vehicles with capacity for eight passengers, and the ability to accommodate a passenger assistant supporting one student. Operational capability should include careful handling of a passenger with epilepsy, even where emergency medication is not required, together with dependable school-run scheduling and route management. Providers based in or able to serve the Surrey and West Sussex area may be well placed because the journey links Horley with a school in Horsham. The awarded supplier’s large-business classification also indicates that comparable work can be delivered at an established operational scale.
