Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured adult care passenger transport services for Ashbourne Lodge, covering taxi and small-vehicle journeys. The requirement is a regular service supporting adult care provision throughout the year, with transport delivered in England. It is a services contract for road transport, rather than the purchase of vehicles or general fleet management. The opportunity was called off by the council from its Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so it forms part of a wider route for sourcing transport services. The requirement is suited to providers able to organise and deliver dependable passenger journeys using taxis or other small vehicles for adult care users.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete. Ashbourne Community Transport was awarded the contract on 15 July 2026 for £7,935.20. The contract runs from 16 July 2026 to 15 July 2028, for up to two years and 52 weeks per year. Bids had to be submitted by 8 July 2026 at 09:00. Derbyshire County Council used a call-off from its Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System; the recorded procurement method is “Other”. The award was made to one supplier, with an active award covering the full requirement. The evaluation basis is not stated in the available procurement details, but the scope is clearly defined as taxi and small-vehicle passenger transport for adult care.

This award demonstrates a defined local-authority demand for dependable, year-round adult care transport using taxis and small vehicles. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need suitable passenger vehicles, the ability to provide consistent scheduled journeys, and the operational capacity to support adult care users safely and reliably. Experience of community transport or similar passenger services would be directly relevant, as would effective driver coordination, vehicle availability and service continuity arrangements. The buyer has identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to smaller taxi operators, community transport organisations and specialist passenger transport providers with the capacity to manage a council service.
