Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Derbyshire County Council, titled "PLACE456 Self Drive Hire," focuses on supplying self-drive motor vehicles suitable for transporting fewer than 10 persons. The contract, valued at £6,000,000, encompasses the East Midlands region in the United Kingdom. The tender phase ended on 25th August 2025, leading to an award stage on 4th September 2025, with the contract set to commence on 8th September 2025 and conclude on 7th September 2026. This procurement falls under the ‘goods’ category with a unique procurement method described as "Other." Arnold Clark was awarded the contract, and the procurement is complete.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in supplying motor vehicles, particularly those capable of accommodating self-drive hire services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with experience in the East Midlands region may find this contract particularly fruitful. Given the scale of the contract and the public sector client, businesses focusing on vehicle supply and rental services would be well-suited to engage with similar procurement opportunities for potential growth and market expansion. The successful collaboration with Derbyshire County Council could enhance visibility and credibility, fostering further opportunities in public sector contracting.
