UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers transport for four pupils attending Linden Bridge, with one personal assistant for harmony, using a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle. The service connects Caterham and Worcester Park, indicating a scheduled passenger transport operation across these Surrey locations. The procurement is for services rather than vehicles or infrastructure, and is intended to provide reliable, supported journeys for the named pupils. Suppliers operating accessible or SEND-focused passenger transport services, with suitable vehicles and the ability to provide an accompanying personal assistant, would be relevant to this type of requirement.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Nivo Mobility. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The award is active and the contract was signed on 12 August 2026. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £54,707.14 including gross value, in GBP. The requirement was handled as one completed lot. The award was assessed as a transport services contract, under CPV 60000000, covering transport services excluding waste transport. The published information identifies the selected supplier and the agreed service period, but does not set out a separate weighting or scoring basis for evaluation.

This procurement shows Surrey County Council’s demand for a defined, small-scale SEND transport service combining vehicle provision, regular pupil journeys and passenger support. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need an appropriate medium-sized MPV, the operational capacity to transport four pupils between Caterham and Worcester Park, and the ability to provide one personal assistant for harmony. Relevant experience in supported passenger transport and SEND journeys would help demonstrate that the service can be delivered safely and consistently. The awarded supplier is recorded as an SME, indicating that this requirement can be delivered by a smaller specialist operator rather than only a large transport company. Local knowledge of Surrey routes and dependable scheduling would also be commercially relevant.
