UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Fox Grove School’s special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision. The requirement is transport for three pupils living in the KT12 postcode area, using a medium multi-purpose vehicle with seven passenger seats. The service also includes one passenger assistant who must complete online asthma-awareness training, because one pupil cannot administer their inhaler when required. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply contract, covering the safe and supported movement of children between their homes and school. The contracted delivery area is therefore the KT12 area and Fox Grove School, under Surrey County Council’s responsibility.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Nivo Mobility, a small or medium-sized enterprise, through a below-threshold limited competition. It covered one lot for transport services. The award was made on 11 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £163,400 gross, including the full stated contract value, and it is below the applicable threshold. The requirement was treated as a light-touch procurement. The award records transport services as the main category; the published outcome identifies Nivo Mobility as the selected supplier.

This procurement demonstrates a defined, recurring need for specialist school transport within Surrey County Council’s SEND services. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to operate a suitable seven-seat or larger medium passenger vehicle, provide dependable scheduled transport for three pupils, and understand the safeguarding and care needs associated with transporting children with additional needs. The requirement also points to the importance of supplying a passenger assistant who can complete asthma-awareness training and respond appropriately to a pupil who cannot self-administer an inhaler. Relevant suppliers are therefore likely to be established school or community transport operators with suitable vehicles, trained staff, robust safeguarding practices and the operational capacity to cover journeys in the KT12 area.
