UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Walton Leigh School’s special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision. The requirement covers transport for two pupils living in the KT12 postcode area, with one personal assistant travelling with them. The service uses a small MPV with space for five to six passenger seats, suitable for the stated passenger and escort requirements. The work is a passenger transport service rather than vehicle supply or general haulage. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, and the service connects the pupils’ homes in the Walton area with Walton Leigh School. The requirement also specifies an all-male team for delivery, which is a significant operational feature for suppliers assessing their suitability.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a below-threshold limited competition. The contract was signed on 8 September 2026 and awarded to Nivo Mobility. The contract value is £34,821.43 gross, with no separate lot values reported; it is below the relevant threshold. The contract period runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, and the award is active. The procurement used the light-touch regime and covered one lot. The published award identifies transport services, excluding waste transport, as the classification. The requirement was evaluated through the council’s limited competition process, with the successful supplier providing the specified SEND transport service for Walton Leigh School.

For a competitor, this award demonstrates a defined local market for scheduled SEND school transport commissioned by Surrey County Council. A credible supplier would need to provide a small MPV with five to six passenger seats, accommodate two pupils and a personal assistant, and operate from the KT12 postcode area to Walton Leigh School. The service model also requires an all-male delivery team, so workforce planning and the ability to deploy an appropriately composed team are central to meeting the requirement. Relevant businesses are specialist passenger transport operators with suitable vehicles, drivers and operational coordination for school journeys, rather than general freight providers. The completed award provides a useful benchmark for the type of focused, below-threshold transport requirement this buyer uses.
