Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured client transport services for special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) pupils travelling between Esher and Oakfield Junior School in Leatherhead. The requirement covers transport for two students, with one passenger assistant accompanying the journey. The vehicle specification is a saloon car with four passenger seats. One passenger has asthma awareness needs and cannot self-administer, so the service requires appropriate awareness and support arrangements during transport. The work falls within transport services, excluding waste transport (CPV 60000000), and is delivered on the route between the students’ location in Esher and the school’s location in Leatherhead, Surrey.

This below-threshold procurement used a limited competition under the light-touch regime. The tender and its single lot are complete. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to Nivo Mobility, a small enterprise, on 14 August 2026; the award remains active. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027. Its gross value is £3,985.71 including applicable taxes, in GBP. The procurement was evaluated through the limited competition process. The requirement relates to one defined school transport service for the Oakfield Junior School SEND route, rather than a multi-lot or aggregated transport programme.

This requirement is relevant to operators providing tailored school transport for SEND pupils, particularly small local mobility firms, taxi businesses and passenger transport providers with suitable saloon vehicles. Credible suppliers would need to deliver reliable, safeguarding-conscious journeys for children, accommodate a passenger assistant, and manage a route between Esher and Leatherhead. The asthma awareness requirement means drivers and support staff need to understand the passenger’s needs and respond appropriately when the student cannot self-administer. A four-seat saloon and capacity for two students are central to the service model. Suppliers able to combine dependable daily school transport with SEND awareness and passenger-assistant arrangements would be well placed when this buyer next tests the same requirement.
