UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport services for pupils attending Fox Grove school. The requirement covers transport for three pupils, including one pupil who travels only in the afternoon, together with one passenger assistant to support harmony and behaviour. The service uses a medium-sized passenger vehicle with six to seven seats. The pupils live in the KT17 and KT18 postcode areas, so the operational requirement is local transport connecting those areas with Fox Grove school. This is a passenger transport service for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, rather than a general taxi, bus or fleet supply contract. Suppliers would therefore need to provide both suitable vehicle-based transport and an appropriate passenger-assistance arrangement for the school journey.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It comprised one lot. Surrey County Council selected Nivo Mobility, a small or medium-sized enterprise, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 11 August 2026 for a gross value of £136,800. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The requirement was evaluated through the limited competition route; the available data does not set out the individual quality or price weighting. The award covers transport services classified under CPV 60000000, Transport services excluding waste transport. No separate award values or additional lots are recorded.

This procurement demonstrates a defined local need for regular school transport for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities, combining vehicle operation with passenger support. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would have a six- to seven-seat MPV or equivalent medium vehicle, capacity to transport three pupils, and the ability to provide a passenger assistant focused on behaviour and journey support. Practical coverage of the KT17 and KT18 areas and reliable links to Fox Grove school are central to credibility. Experience of transporting children, managing differing travel patterns, including an afternoon-only journey, and working sensitively with schools, families and support staff would strengthen a future competitor’s position. A small or medium-sized operator can deliver this scale of requirement.
