UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist home-to-school transport services for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement is transport on a route into Philip Southcote School for three pupils and a personal assistant, using a medium MPV with seven or eight seats. The service may accommodate two additional transport requests. The personal assistant is required to administer buccal midazolam and be trained in seizure management, with care plans provided for delivery of the service. This is a passenger transport service focused on safely transporting children with medical and care needs, rather than a general vehicle-hire or standard school-bus requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Nivo Mobility following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council used a limited procurement method under the light-touch regime. The award was made on 13 August 2026, and the contract was signed the same day. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a value of £49,950 including gross value, in GBP. One lot was awarded, covering the SEND transport service. The selected supplier is Nivo Mobility. The published outcome records the contract as active, while the tender and lot are recorded as complete.

This requirement demonstrates demand for specialist SEND passenger transport that combines an appropriately sized vehicle with trained passenger-support staff. Suppliers seeking comparable work would need operational capacity for a seven- or eight-seat MPV, reliable route planning and safe transport of a small number of pupils to school. Credibility would also depend on providing a personal assistant able to administer buccal midazolam and manage seizures in line with training and individual care plans. Transport operators with experience in school or medical passenger services, safeguarding children and coordinating trained support staff would be well placed for similar requirements from Surrey County Council. The potential for additional requests indicates a need for some flexibility in capacity and staffing.
