UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council procured complex health transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service is taxi or multi-purpose vehicle transport using wheelchair-accessible vehicles, with a passenger assistant (PA). It falls within passenger transport services. The requirement is for journeys supporting clients’ health-related transport needs; the specified vehicle accessibility and PA provision are central to the service. Surrey County Council is the buying organisation, and the council is based in Reigate, Surrey. The procurement identifies one lot for this complex transport requirement, rather than separate service areas.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Nivo Mobility. Surrey County Council used a limited competition below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 21 October 2026 and runs from 4 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £53,800 including gross value as stated. This was a single-lot award. The published data does not set out award scoring criteria, eligibility requirements or a separate award decision date. The buyer’s title refers to a wider 2026–2034 client transport programme, while the specific contract period for this award is the shorter period stated above.

This award shows Surrey County Council buys specialist health transport for SEND passengers, specifically taxi or MPV journeys in wheelchair-accessible vehicles with a passenger assistant. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work need to demonstrate that they can provide accessible vehicles and reliably arrange appropriate passenger-assistant cover for complex health journeys. Operational capacity to deliver individual transport services for the council’s clients is directly relevant. Nivo Mobility, identified as an SME, was selected through a limited competition below threshold, so a future competitor should be prepared to respond to a restricted competitive approach rather than assume an open tender. The defined requirement is specialist accessible transport with PA provision; general transport capability alone would not address the service described.
