Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has awarded a contract for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" to Nivo Mobility. This service package focuses on providing transport for students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) from Walton-on-Thames to Malden Oaks School in Kingston upon Thames. The contract, initiated through a limited procurement process, falls under the 'below threshold - limited competition' category, and embraces the light-touch regime. The contract, worth £2,681,171 in total, began on 8th June 2026 and will run until 31st July 2027, representing the transportation sector within the services industry category.

This tender primarily presents significant opportunities for medium-sized enterprises and specialised transport service providers, particularly those with expertise or interest in the education-related transport sector. Businesses suited for engaging in this tender would ideally have a fleet capable of accommodating special needs transport requirements, although a personal assistant is not required for this particular contract. There is potential for businesses to build long-term relationships with local authorities like Surrey County Council, which could lead to subsequent opportunities in related service contracts. Given the legal framework and the specific nature of this contract, only a few competitors could participate, making it a less contested and potentially lucrative opportunity for qualified suppliers like Nivo Mobility.
