UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel. The requirement covers a route to Philip Southcote School for three pupils and a passenger assistant, using a medium-sized people carrier with seven or eight seats. The service is classified as transport services. The transport operator must provide suitable, reliable journeys for the pupils and passenger assistant, with arrangements that support the needs of children travelling to school. The contracting authority is Surrey County Council, a local public authority. The delivery destination identified for this requirement is Philip Southcote School.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Nivo Mobility. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026, with an award recorded to Nivo Mobility on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £10,984,286 including gross value, and it is below the applicable threshold. The award covers the single transport requirement for this route. The published outcome records Nivo Mobility as the selected supplier and the contract as active. The tender itself is recorded as complete.

This requirement is relevant to operators experienced in SEND or school transport, particularly those able to provide medium-sized vehicles seating seven or eight people. Credible competitors would need to organise consistent route-based transport for a small number of pupils, accommodate a passenger assistant, and work safely with children who may require additional support. The requirement specifically calls for passenger-assistant training in epilepsy awareness and the use of emergency medication, so operators need appropriate training arrangements, safeguarding awareness and dependable incident procedures. It also demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for managed education transport delivered through a focused, below-threshold competition, making relevant local-authority transport experience and the ability to meet precise passenger and care requirements important when comparable work returns.
