Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured specialised transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), under the council’s Summer 2025 North Batch 69 requirement. The service is classified as road transport services (CPV 60100000) and covers delivery in the East Midlands. It was arranged as a single-lot call-off contract from the PLACE059 Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The requirement is a service rather than a supply or construction opportunity, and is relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide specialised SEND journeys for the council. The contracting authority is Derbyshire County Council, based at County Hall in Matlock, England.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a call-off from a passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender deadline was 22 June 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 23 June 2026. Green Destinations Ltd was selected for the single lot at an awarded value of £68,406.21. The contract runs from 26 June 2026 to 25 June 2028. The procurement used an ‘Other’ method under the Dynamic Purchasing System route. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement was evaluated through the procedure used for the DPS call-off; the published information does not set out separate award weightings or criteria.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Derbyshire County Council for specialised SEND passenger transport in the East Midlands, delivered through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. A future competitor would need to operate reliable road transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, and be able to meet the practical safeguarding, accessibility, passenger-care and journey-management standards expected for that work. The council’s use of a DPS means suppliers need to understand and maintain eligibility for that purchasing route, respond effectively to individual call-offs and provide evidence of operational capability. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so a focused local or regional transport operator may be well placed to compete.
