UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for two pupils attending Blossom House. The service covers journeys between Cobham and New Malden and requires one saloon car. It also includes a passenger assistant for four journeys each week, supporting travel on Monday to Thursday afternoons in line with the student timetable. The passenger assistant must be trained to support a pupil with Ketotic Hypoglycaemia, including administering 40% Glycogel into the oral mucosa. This is a passenger transport service for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement is specific to the named pupils, journey pattern, vehicle type and medical-support arrangement, rather than a general transport service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Nivo Mobility, an SME. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime, with one completed lot. The contract was signed on 27 July 2026 and is active for the period 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded and contracted value is £4,757,143 gross, including VAT, in total. The award covers the transport service for the two pupils and the associated passenger-assistant requirement. The recorded award is active and the tender is complete, so this outcome describes an established contract rather than an opportunity to submit a bid. The buyer is Surrey County Council.

This award indicates demand from Surrey County Council for tightly specified SEND transport combining a suitable saloon car, reliable scheduled journeys and trained passenger-assistant support. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would have experience transporting children or young people with special educational needs, robust safeguarding and passenger-care arrangements, and the operational capacity to provide consistent journeys between Cobham and New Malden. The requirement also favours providers able to recruit or deploy passenger assistants with relevant medical-support training, including safe administration of Glycogel under the required arrangements. Credibility would depend on matching vehicle provision, driver and assistant coordination, timetable discipline and continuity of care to an individual pupil’s needs, while meeting the buyer’s expectations for a specialist, responsive transport service.
