Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council has awarded a contract for "Client Transport Services 2026 - 2034 - SEND" in the transport services industry. This procurement process, carried out under a limited competition method, was primarily focused on student transport services, including the provision of a trained personal assistant in first aid and asthma awareness. The service locations involve Hopescourt School in Walton-On-Thames and covers student locations in Epsom, Worcester Park, Thames Ditton, and West Molesey. The procurement stage has been completed, with key dates marking the contract's active status as starting from 2nd September 2026 through to 31st July 2029, following the signing of the contract on 4th August 2026. The award is valued at £16,704,286 and classified under a light-touch regime, supporting sub-central government operations.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in specialised transport services, particularly those with expertise in managing student transport and care for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). Companies with established capabilities in providing medium-sized passenger vehicles and experienced personnel for the administration of critical support services can leverage this contract for business growth. The successful bidder, Nivo Mobility, is an SME, indicating that similarly sized enterprises with the right qualifications and capacity can also compete effectively in such tenders. This procurement highlights the demand for focused transport solutions in local government settings, which can be a lucrative segment for service-oriented SMEs.
