UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist school transport services for a SEND journey involving Cuddington Primary School. The requirement covers transport for one student from Esher to the school in Worcester Park, with one personal assistant travelling alongside. The student has asthma-awareness needs and cannot self-administer medication, so the service requires appropriate passenger support during the journey. The vehicle requirement is one saloon car with four passenger seats. This is a local passenger transport service, with collection activity in Esher and delivery at Cuddington Primary School in Worcester Park. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a local public authority. The procurement falls within transport services, specifically supported school travel for a child with special educational needs and disabilities.

The procurement has been completed following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The single requirement was awarded to Nivo Mobility, an SME, and the contract was signed on 10 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £129,200 including gross value, in GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award is active and the contract is active. The tender and its single lot are recorded as complete. The requirement was evaluated through the limited-competition route; the available procurement record does not state separate scoring criteria. Surrey County Council is both the buyer and the organisation responsible for the procurement. The contract title is Client Transport Services 2026–2034 – SEND.

This award demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for dedicated SEND school transport on a defined local route, rather than general passenger transport alone. A credible competitor for a future equivalent requirement would need to provide a suitable saloon vehicle, reliably support a single child between home and school, and accommodate a personal assistant. Staff capability in assisting children with additional needs is important, including awareness of asthma-related risks and the fact that the passenger cannot self-administer medication. Suppliers should also be able to manage school-day journeys between Esher and Worcester Park and meet the operational expectations of a public-sector client. The award to an SME indicates that this type of focused transport service can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator.
