UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. The requirement was transport for six pupils and a passenger assistant to Philip Southcote, using a large eight-seat multi-purpose vehicle. Pick-up journeys were to cover five addresses in Ashford and one in Shepperton. The service falls within passenger transport services and is intended to support safe travel to the destination. The passenger assistant is part of the transport provision and must be able to administer buccal midazolam and manage seizures. A care plan is provided after award, and the requirement does not include supplying equipment. The buying organisation is Surrey County Council.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Nivo Mobility, a small or medium-sized enterprise. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. The contract was signed on 14 August 2026, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Its value is £134,807.14 including tax. There was one completed lot covering the transport requirement, and one active award to Nivo Mobility. The award concerns transport services and relates to the full requirement described above. The available procurement information records the selected supplier and contract outcome; it does not set out separate scored evaluation criteria or weighted criteria.

This requirement indicates demand from Surrey County Council for specialist home-to-destination transport supporting pupils with SEND. A credible future provider would need a large eight-seat MPV, capacity to carry six pupils and a passenger assistant, and operational coverage for journeys involving Ashford and Shepperton. The passenger assistant role requires practical competence in seizure management and the administration of buccal midazolam, with the ability to work from an individual care plan. Suppliers should therefore be able to combine reliable route planning and passenger transport with appropriately trained staff and safe handling of vulnerable passengers. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this scale of service can be delivered by a focused specialist transport business rather than only a large national operator.
