UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist SEND client transport services for Ashley Park Independent School. The requirement covers transport for two students, with one passenger assistant for harmony support and one medium MPV with seven passenger seats. The vehicle must accommodate a Houdini harness for one student. Journeys serve students located in Staines-upon-Thames and Laleham, travelling to the school in Walton-on-Thames. This is a passenger transport services requirement, classified under CPV 60000000. The work is part of Surrey County Council’s provision for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, so suppliers need to combine safe vehicle operation with appropriate passenger support and reliable school transport arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Nivo Mobility, an SME, through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 5 August 2026 and has an awarded value of £15,550,714 gross. The active contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. There was one lot covering the full requirement. The procedure used was a limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award relates to transport services for the specified SEND school journey, with Nivo Mobility selected as the supplier. The published outcome records an active contract rather than an unawarded or cancelled procurement.

This award demonstrates substantial, recurring demand from Surrey County Council for specialist school transport supporting children with SEND. A credible competitor would need suitable medium MPVs, including vehicles with seven passenger seats, and the ability to safely accommodate specialist equipment such as a Houdini harness. The requirement also calls for dependable provision of a passenger assistant, including harmony support, alongside trained and sensitive staff able to work with vulnerable young passengers. Operational strength would include reliable scheduling between Staines-upon-Thames, Laleham and Walton-on-Thames, consistent school-run performance, appropriate safeguarding and passenger-care procedures, and enough vehicle and staffing capacity to maintain the service throughout the contract term.
