Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has completed the procurement process for the "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND," which focuses on transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The contract is specifically for morning transportation of students from Staines-Upon-Thames to Freemantles Primary School in Woking. This procurement falls under the services category, with the tender described as being below threshold with limited competition. The process culminated in an award decision on the 14th of July, 2026, with the contract pertaining to the period from 8th May 2026 to 31st July 2027.

This tender presents business growth opportunities, particularly for transport service providers with capabilities in offering tailored services for special needs students. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) focusing on passenger transport services might find this contract appealing. The successful contractor is Nivo Mobility, a supplier previously involved in projects requiring a detailed understanding of light-touch transport regimes, suggesting that companies with experience in handling similar logistical requirements would be well-suited for future opportunities. Businesses in the transport industry, especially those with expertise in accessible and scheduled transport services, can leverage such contracts to enhance their portfolio.
