Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured specialist client transport services for Great Oaks College in Hounslow. The service transports one student with special educational needs and disabilities from Staines-upon-Thames to the college. The requirement is for a small multi-purpose vehicle, with a personal assistant travelling with the student. The passenger has epilepsy and allergies, so the service includes support from a personal assistant trained in seizure management, the administration of emergency medication, anaphylaxis response and EpiPen administration. This is a passenger transport service rather than a general vehicle supply requirement. Delivery is centred on the journey between Staines-upon-Thames and Great Oaks College in Hounslow, for Surrey County Council’s education and transport needs.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. One lot covered the transport requirement. Nivo Mobility was selected as supplier, with the award active and the contract signed on 11 September 2026. The contract value is £48,000 gross. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement used the light-touch regime and a limited procedure; the published outcome identifies transport services as the main category. The award relates specifically to the single SEND transport route for Great Oaks College, involving one student and a small multi-purpose vehicle. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation.

This requirement is relevant to operators providing safe, reliable assisted transport for children or young people with special educational needs and disabilities. A credible competitor would need access to a small multi-purpose vehicle and the operational capacity to provide a consistent home-to-college journey between Staines-upon-Thames and Hounslow. The service also requires a personal assistant able to support a passenger with epilepsy and allergies, including seizure management, emergency medication and anaphylaxis response using an EpiPen. Relevant capability therefore combines passenger transport with safeguarding, care and incident-response competence. Suppliers with trained support staff, suitable vehicle management, dependable route planning and experience carrying passengers with complex medical needs would be well placed when Surrey County Council next requires this specific type of service.
