UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport for three pupils attending Fox Grove School under its special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) service. The requirement covers one personal assistant and a medium-sized vehicle with six to seven passenger seats. The pupils live in the KT12 postcode area, so the service involves planned passenger transport serving that locality and the school. This is a passenger transport services requirement, rather than vehicle supply or general fleet management. The buyer is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The selected provider, Nivo Mobility, is a small or medium-sized enterprise based in New Malden, indicating a requirement that can be delivered by a focused local or regional mobility operator.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Nivo Mobility was selected for the single requirement, with the award made on 12 August 2026. The contract was signed on the same date and is active. It runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. The contract value is £155,800 gross. The process used one completed lot and the award covers transport services for the Fox Grove School SEND requirement. The published outcome identifies Nivo Mobility as the successful supplier. This is an awarded contract, not an opportunity to submit a bid for the current service.

This procurement indicates recurring demand from Surrey County Council for dependable, safeguarding-conscious transport for children and young people with SEND. A credible competitor would need to provide a suitable six- to seven-seat medium vehicle, transport three pupils reliably to Fox Grove School, and supply a personal assistant as part of the journey service. Operational strength in scheduled school transport, passenger assistance, route planning around the KT12 area and reliable communication with the council and school would be relevant. The award to an SME shows that delivery does not necessarily require a national transport business, but does require sufficient vehicle access, trained staff, resilience and experience handling vulnerable passengers. Suppliers with accessible mobility provision and strong compliance systems would be well placed when this type of requirement returns.
