UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist transport for three pupils attending Brooklands College under its special educational needs and disabilities transport service. The requirement covers journeys between West Molesey and Weybridge, using one small multi-purpose vehicle and one passenger assistant. The passenger assistant is required to support the pupils during travel and to respond appropriately when asthma support is needed, including use of a spacer and inhaler in line with the pupil’s care plan. The service falls within transport services, excluding waste transport. This is a focused client transport requirement combining vehicle provision, passenger assistance and safeguarding around pupils with additional needs. It is relevant to school transport operators, community transport providers and mobility companies able to deliver managed journeys in Surrey and provide trained passenger-assistance staff.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. It used a light-touch regime and was not divided into multiple awarded lots; the requirement was treated as one lot. Surrey County Council awarded the contract to Nivo Mobility on 28 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The active contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £57,085.71 including tax, and it is below the applicable threshold. The award was assessed through the limited-competition route, with the selected supplier providing the specified transport service. Nivo Mobility is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise. The procurement status is complete, while the contract remains active for its stated period.

This award demonstrates a defined local market for SEND passenger transport combining a small MPV with a trained passenger assistant rather than vehicle-only provision. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to transport a small number of pupils reliably between West Molesey, Weybridge and Brooklands College, with appropriate safeguarding, punctuality and continuity of service. Passenger-assistance capability is central: staff must be able to support children with additional needs and act in accordance with an asthma care plan, including assisting with a spacer and inhaler when required. Relevant providers include school transport operators, community transport organisations and mobility businesses with suitable vehicles, trained staff, robust safeguarding procedures and the ability to manage health-related passenger requirements within a council-run education transport service.
