Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) travel to Fox Grove School. The requirement covers transport for three pupils, with one passenger assistant, using a medium multipurpose vehicle with six to seven passenger seats. The pupils live in the TW15, TW16 and TW17 postcode areas, so the service is centred on journeys between those areas and the school. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000. The requirement is for a single school transport arrangement rather than a broad transport framework, and is intended to support the pupils’ regular attendance at Fox Grove School.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It comprised one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to Nivo Mobility on 11 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The awarded contract value is £190,000 including tax, in GBP. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The award is active and the contract is active. The published outcome identifies Nivo Mobility as the selected supplier. The available procurement information describes the limited competition route and the SEND transport requirement; it does not set out separate scored evaluation criteria or multiple supplier awards.

This opportunity shows demand from Surrey County Council for a focused SEND school transport service combining vehicle provision, pupil transport and passenger-assistant support. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to operate a suitable six- to seven-seat MPV, provide reliable journeys for three pupils, and organise a passenger assistant as part of the service. Local operating capability around the TW15, TW16 and TW17 postcode areas would be relevant, as would experience delivering consistent school transport for children with special educational needs and disabilities. The award to Nivo Mobility, identified as an SME, indicates that a smaller specialist transport business can meet this scale of requirement through a limited competition route.
