UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport for four students attending Hopescourt School in Walton-on-Thames. The service covers journeys between the school and students’ locations in Epsom, Worcester Park, Thames Ditton and West Molesey. It is a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) transport service requiring one medium people carrier with seven passenger seats and one passenger assistant. The passenger assistant must be trained in first aid, asthma awareness and supporting the administration of an inhaler when required. The procurement is for transport services, with Surrey County Council as the buying organisation and the service centred on the Walton-on-Thames school route.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Nivo Mobility, a small or medium-sized enterprise. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 4 August 2026. The contract is valued at £16,704,286 including gross value, in pounds sterling, and runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. One lot was awarded, covering the complete SEND transport requirement. The resulting contract is active and was signed on 4 August 2026. The available outcome information identifies Nivo Mobility as the selected supplier; it does not provide an award scoring breakdown or separate evaluation weightings.

This award indicates a substantial, multi-year requirement for reliable SEND passenger transport serving Surrey County Council routes around Walton-on-Thames and nearby areas. A credible future competitor would need suitable medium-sized passenger vehicles, the operational capacity to transport several students safely, and robust arrangements for school and family journeys across Epsom, Worcester Park, Thames Ditton and West Molesey. The requirement also demonstrates the importance of passenger-assistant capability: assigned staff need first-aid and asthma-awareness training, together with the ability to support inhaler administration when required. Suppliers with experience in SEND transport, safeguarding-sensitive passenger care, trained escort provision and dependable route management would be well placed to compete when this requirement returns to market.
