Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council commissioned standard passenger transport by taxi or multi-purpose vehicle for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The service covers vehicles with capacity for 1–8 passengers. The procurement is identified as a transport service, with the requirement grouped into one lot. The council is based in Reigate, Surrey; the data does not identify the specific pick-up, drop-off or service locations. Nivo Mobility was selected to provide the service. This requirement sits within Surrey County Council’s client transport programme, focused here on standard taxi/MPV journeys for SEND passengers.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. Nivo Mobility was awarded the contract, which was signed on 22 October 2026. The contract runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is valued at £15,485.71 including gross value. The work was procured as one lot, covering standard taxi/MPV transport for SEND passengers, with vehicles for 1–8 passengers. The published procurement details do not state separate evaluation criteria or weightings, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be described further.

For suppliers considering comparable future work for Surrey County Council, this award shows demand for small-vehicle passenger transport serving children and young people with SEND, procured through a limited competition below the relevant threshold. A credible competitor would need to provide suitable taxis or MPVs seating 1–8 passengers and demonstrate the practical ability to deliver the council’s client transport requirement. Nivo Mobility, identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, secured the award, showing that this contract was delivered at a scale accessible to an SME. The contract period indicates a defined, relatively short service requirement rather than a long-term transport concession. The available description does not establish particular vehicle standards, driver qualifications, safeguarding requirements or prior experience thresholds, so these should not be assumed as stated requirements.
