UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist SEND client transport services for Fox Grove school. The requirement covers transporting three pupils who live in the KT8 postcode area, using a medium MPV with seven passenger seats. The service includes one passenger assistant trained in seizure management. The passenger assistant must complete online seizure-awareness training and follow the 999 emergency protocol if an emergency occurs; no emergency epilepsy medication is involved. This is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60000000, delivered for Surrey County Council’s education and special educational needs transport provision. The selected supplier was Nivo Mobility, an SME based in New Malden. The requirement was treated as a light-touch service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Nivo Mobility on 11 August 2026. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded, covering the full Fox Grove school transport requirement. The contract is active, signed on 11 August 2026, and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its gross value is £163,400. The award covers transport services and the related passenger-assistant provision. The published outcome identifies the winning supplier and awarded lot; the procurement information does not set out a separate scored evaluation weighting. This is an awarded outcome rather than an available contract, so it should be read as market intelligence about Surrey’s requirement and procurement route.

This award indicates demand for suppliers able to combine dependable school transport with SEND-specific passenger support. A credible competitor for a future requirement from Surrey County Council would need suitable medium passenger vehicles, capacity for a seven-seat MPV operation, and experience transporting pupils safely to and from school. It would also need to provide a passenger assistant trained in seizure management, ensure completion of online seizure-awareness training, and operate the 999 emergency protocol when required. Familiarity with routes serving the KT8 area and with Fox Grove school’s pupil transport needs would be relevant. The award also shows that Surrey uses below-threshold limited competitions for this type of light-touch service, making established local transport operators and specialist mobility providers well placed to monitor similar requirements.
