UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils attending Walton Leigh School. The requirement covers transport for two pupils, with one passenger assistant (PA) travelling with them. The service requires a wheelchair-accessible vehicle meeting the ACCESS 8 specification. The pupils live in the GU15 and GU21 postcode areas, so the work involves journeys connected with those areas and Walton Leigh School. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or general school transport contract. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a local authority. The stated transport classification is transport services excluding waste transport.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. There was one completed lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to Nivo Mobility on 12 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its value is £220,400. The award covers the transport service for the single lot, including the requirements described for Walton Leigh School and the two SEND pupils. The recorded procurement method was limited competition; the available outcome records identify the successful supplier and contract value but do not set out an award scoring breakdown.

This requirement demonstrates demand for specialist home-to-school SEND transport from Surrey County Council, at a scale involving a small number of passengers but sustained delivery over a school-service period. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need a wheelchair-accessible ACCESS 8 vehicle, dependable passenger transport operations and the ability to provide a trained PA. The service also requires capacity to support a passenger who may need emergency buccal medication, so relevant staff training and robust safeguarding, care and emergency procedures would be important. Suppliers experienced in transporting disabled children, coordinating school journeys and covering the GU15 and GU21 areas would be well placed to meet a similar specification.
