UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for three pupils attending West Hill Primary School. The service covers travel between the school in Leatherhead and student locations in West Ewell and Epsom. It requires one medium MPV with seven passenger seats and one passenger assistant. The passenger assistant must be trained in first aid, asthma awareness, including inhaler administration, and gastrostomy awareness. This is a passenger transport service for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), rather than a general taxi or standard school-bus requirement. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority, and delivery is centred on the specified school and student locations in Surrey.

This procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Nivo Mobility, an SME, for the single requirement. It used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross value is £14,426,429 (including taxes), in total for this requirement. The selected supplier is responsible for the transport service described, including the vehicle and trained passenger assistant. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition process; the published outcome identifies Nivo Mobility as the active award recipient. The contract remains active for its stated service period.

This outcome demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for sustained, specialist SEND passenger transport linked to individual schools and pupils. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to provide a suitable seven-seat medium MPV, reliable scheduled transport between schools and student homes, and a passenger assistant able to support children with additional health and care needs. Relevant operational strengths include experience transporting SEND pupils, safeguarding and passenger-care procedures, dependable driver and escort cover, and the ability to meet first-aid, asthma-awareness and gastrostomy-awareness requirements. The requirement also suits an SME with local knowledge of Leatherhead, West Ewell and Epsom, and the capacity to deliver a dedicated service for a small number of pupils.
