UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Surrey County Council’s SEND client transport requirement is for standard taxi and MPV journeys, using vehicles with capacity for 1–8 passengers. The service is intended to transport clients with special educational needs and disabilities. The procurement covers one transport lot and is classified as transport services. The buying authority is Surrey County Council, based in Reigate. The requirement is relevant to taxi and private-hire operators with suitable vehicles and the operational ability to deliver passenger transport for SEND clients in Surrey. The award identifies Nivo Mobility as the selected supplier for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Surrey County Council used a below-threshold limited competition. Nivo Mobility was awarded the contract. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. Its value is £23,228.57. The requirement was divided into one lot, covering standard taxi/MPV transport for 1–8 passengers. The published procurement information does not set out a separate evaluation formula or eligibility conditions; the stated outcome is the award to Nivo Mobility. The contract concerns SEND client transport and is managed under the light-touch regime.

For taxi and private-hire operators, this award demonstrates Surrey County Council’s demand for standard vehicle-based transport for SEND clients, with capacity ranging from individual journeys to groups of up to eight passengers. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need access to appropriately sized taxis or MPVs, dependable scheduling and dispatch, and the ability to provide safe, consistent transport for clients with special educational needs and disabilities. Operators should be equipped to manage a defined client transport service for a public-sector authority and to compete through a limited-competition route. Nivo Mobility, identified as an SME, won this contract, showing that this requirement was delivered by a smaller supplier rather than requiring a large national operator.
