UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialised home-to-school transport for two pupils with special educational needs and disabilities attending West Hill Primary School in Leatherhead. The service covers journeys from Chertsey and Addlestone to the school. It requires one medium-sized people carrier with seven passenger seats and one passenger assistant. The passenger assistant must be trained in first aid, asthma awareness, inhaler administration when required, seizure awareness and emergency medication administration in line with the care plan. One pupil travels in a car seat rather than a wheelchair, with parents and school staff transferring the pupil; the non-collapsible wheelchair must fit in the vehicle boot. This is a passenger transport service (CPV 60000000), delivered for Surrey County Council.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Nivo Mobility, a small or medium-sized enterprise, following a below-threshold limited competition. The award is active and covers one completed lot. The contract was signed on 6 August 2026 and runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its gross and stated value is £119,657.14 including the published amount, in GBP. The arrangement is classified as a light-touch service procurement and is below the applicable threshold. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the published outcome identifies Nivo Mobility as the selected supplier. Surrey County Council is both the buying organisation and the public authority responsible for the procurement.

This requirement indicates sustained demand from Surrey County Council for reliable SEND transport linking pupils’ homes with school. A credible future supplier would need suitable passenger vehicles, including a seven-seat medium-sized people carrier, and the operational ability to accommodate a non-collapsible wheelchair in the boot while supporting a car-seat transfer. It would also need trained passenger-assistant capability covering first aid, asthma awareness, inhaler use, seizure awareness and emergency medication under an individual care plan. Experience transporting children with additional needs, careful safeguarding practice, dependable daily journey planning between Leatherhead, Chertsey and Addlestone, and capacity to provide consistent service over a school-year contract would strengthen a competing offer. The award to an SME shows the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist transport operator.
