UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist SEND client transport services for Linden Bridge. The requirement covers transport for three pupils, with one passenger assistant, using a medium-sized multi-purpose vehicle. The service connects Redhill and Worcester Park, supporting the safe and managed movement of children who require special educational needs and disabilities transport. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or general logistics contract. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council, a sub-central public authority. The stated service area involves journeys between Redhill and Worcester Park, with Linden Bridge identified as the destination or service setting. The requirement is focused on a small, dedicated route with an accompanying passenger assistant.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. It comprised one lot. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026 and awarded to Nivo Mobility. The contract is active from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, with a value of £55,896.43 including gross value, in GBP. The evaluation basis was a limited competition, with the published process identifying transport services as the category. The selected supplier is Nivo Mobility, a small or medium-sized enterprise. The contract concerns the single SEND transport requirement for Linden Bridge, covering three pupils, one passenger assistant and one medium-sized MPV.

This opportunity demonstrates demand from Surrey County Council for small-scale, dedicated SEND passenger transport rather than generic fleet or haulage provision. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement would need to organise reliable journeys for pupils, provide or coordinate a suitable medium-sized MPV, and supply a passenger assistant for the route. Relevant operational strengths include dependable scheduling between Redhill and Worcester Park, safe transport of children, continuity of service, and the capacity to manage a compact route over a school-year period. The award to Nivo Mobility, identified as an SME, indicates that a smaller specialist operator can satisfy this type of council requirement. Credible competitors should therefore be able to evidence practical SEND transport experience, suitable vehicles and trained passenger-support staff.
