UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist SEND client transport services for travel to Philip Southcote School. The requirement covers a route for five pupils and a personal assistant in a large eight-seat MPV, with one further pupil expected to be added. Pick-up addresses are in Walton-on-Thames. The service includes providing the vehicle and driver for the pupil journey, together with a personal assistant who can support passengers safely. The personal assistant must be trained in seizure management and emergency medication. A care plan is to be passed to the successful provider, and no specialist equipment is required. This is a passenger transport service focused on school travel for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, delivered for Surrey County Council.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Surrey County Council selected Nivo Mobility, an SME, for the single requirement. The award was made on 14 August 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2027, with an awarded value of £5,978.57 gross, including any applicable taxes. The procurement used the light-touch regime and was classified as a transport service. The contract is active. The award relates to the full requirement for the Philip Southcote School route; no separate lot awards are reported. The published outcome confirms the selected supplier and the agreed service period and value.

This outcome shows a defined local demand for specialist school transport serving SEND passengers, rather than general passenger transport. A credible future competitor for this buyer would need access to a large eight-seat MPV, the operational capacity to carry pupils and a personal assistant on a regular school route, and experience of safe, reliable passenger transport. Providers would also need to supply or arrange a personal assistant trained in seizure management and emergency medication, and work from a pupil care plan. Familiarity with pick-ups in Walton-on-Thames and travel to Philip Southcote School would be relevant. The requirement is suited to a small or specialist mobility operator able to combine vehicle provision, route management and appropriately trained passenger support.
