UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for a special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) school journey. The requirement covers transport for one student from Sunbury-on-Thames to Tram House School in London, with one passenger assistant and a saloon vehicle providing four passenger seats. The work falls within passenger transport services. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation. The service is specific to this student’s travel between the stated home-area location and school, rather than a general transport network or wider school transport operation. Businesses relevant to this requirement would therefore be operators able to provide a suitable saloon vehicle, a passenger assistant and reliable scheduled transport for a SEND passenger between Sunbury-on-Thames and the school in London.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Nivo Mobility. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 6 August 2026 to Nivo Mobility, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its awarded value is £15,169,600, including gross value, and the contract is below the applicable threshold. There was one completed lot covering the transport requirement. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies Nivo Mobility as the selected supplier; the procurement data does not set out separate scoring or weighting for the evaluation basis.

This outcome shows sustained demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND client transport rather than ordinary bus or taxi provision. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide a saloon vehicle with four passenger seats, supply a passenger assistant and organise dependable journeys for an individual student between Sunbury-on-Thames and a London school. The existing award also indicates that the buyer uses a below-threshold limited competition route for this type of service, so suppliers should be able to respond efficiently to a focused competition and demonstrate that they can deliver the complete journey requirement. Smaller operators may be relevant: the selected supplier is recorded as an SME.
