Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured passenger transport for adult care at Hasland Resource Centre. The service uses taxis and small vehicles, providing transport throughout the year, 52 weeks annually. It is a local passenger transport requirement rather than a purchase of vehicles. The contracting information identifies England as the delivery country and Hasland Resource Centre as the destination. This type of work is relevant to taxi operators and small-vehicle passenger transport providers able to deliver regular adult-care transport for the Council. The requirement was arranged as a call-off from the Council’s transport Dynamic Purchasing System, linking this individual service need to its wider transport purchasing route.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Express Taxis on 8 October 2026. The awarded value is £8,112. The contract runs from 14 October 2026 to 13 October 2028, for up to two years. The tender deadline was 30 September 2026 at 09:00. The Council used an open procedure for a call-off from its transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The published procurement information describes the service as operating 52 weeks per year. The tender was marked suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate award evaluation basis is stated in the available process details.

The award shows that Derbyshire County Council buys small-vehicle passenger transport for adult care, including regular transport associated with Hasland Resource Centre. A credible competitor for this specific requirement would need to operate taxis or other suitable small vehicles and be capable of delivering dependable passenger transport throughout the year. The selected supplier, Express Taxis, is identified as a small or medium-sized enterprise, indicating that this service was delivered by an SME rather than only by a large transport operator. Suppliers whose core business is taxi or small-vehicle passenger transport are the closest fit; general transport experience alone would need to be matched by the ability to provide the recurring adult-care service required.
