Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured adult care passenger transport services for the Mundy Street Day Service. The requirement covers taxi and small-vehicle transport, including two days of respite provision each week, delivered for 52 weeks per year and supporting the day service’s transport needs. This is a services contract for road transport, rather than vehicle supply, infrastructure or general fleet management. The work is to be delivered in England. The buying organisation is Derbyshire County Council, based at County Hall in Matlock. The procurement was made through the council’s existing transport purchasing arrangement, indicating a requirement for an operator able to provide reliable passenger transport for adult care users using appropriately sized vehicles.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 12 August 2026 to Awami Travel LTD, an SME. It was a call-off from the PLACE059 Transport Dynamic Purchasing System, using the stated “Other” procurement method. The tender submission deadline was 29 July 2026 at 9:00am. The awarded value is £35,256. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2028, covering up to two years. The procurement was assessed as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The selected supplier is responsible for the taxi and small-vehicle passenger transport requirement for Adult Care, including the specified weekly respite provision.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist passenger transport supporting adult care services, using taxis and small vehicles rather than large public transport fleets. A credible future competitor would need dependable vehicles, suitably trained and reliable drivers, and the operational capacity to provide regular service throughout the year. Experience transporting adult care users would be relevant, particularly where passengers may require considerate, consistent and well-managed journeys. Providers should also be able to cover two respite-service days each week and coordinate with the day service’s operating arrangements. The award to an SME and the stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises indicate that smaller local operators can be credible participants in this market.
