Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council, located in Kingston upon Thames, spearheaded the procurement process for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND". This contract aims to facilitate the transport of pupils with special educational needs to Freemantles Primary School using large multi-purpose vehicles. The procurement falls under the "Transport services (excl. Waste transport)" category, with a focus on the services industry. The process followed a limited competition method, specifically designed to remain below the threshold. The contract was awarded on 29th July 2026 and Nivo Mobility was identified as the supplier. The contract is active from 1st September 2026 until 31st July 2027, with a total gross value of £5,941,671.

This procurement offers opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the transport services sector, particularly those with a focus on special needs transportation. The limited competition process may favour businesses that have a niche focus or those already equipped to handle specific transport requirements outlined, such as the use of special harnesses and handling epilepsy care plans. Participation in such contracts can boost brand recognition and provide a stable revenue stream during the contract period. Businesses adept at offering customised and sensitive client transport solutions will find this contract well-suited to their expertise, facilitating potential growth and expansions in the education and transport sectors.
