Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured specialist transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers passenger transport provision under a call-off contract from the PLACE059 Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System, divided into two lots. The service falls within road transport services (CPV 60100000) and is delivered in the East Midlands. This is a public sector passenger transport opportunity for operators able to provide reliable SEND journeys in support of the council’s transport responsibilities. The procurement is categorised as a service and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The buying organisation is Derbyshire County Council, based at County Hall in Matlock.

The procurement has completed and was awarded through a call-off from the Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender submission deadline was 9 July 2026 at 9:00am, and the award decision was dated 27 July 2026. The contract was awarded jointly to ICARS Burton Upon Trent Limited and D G Private Hire Limited. Its awarded value is £86,154, covering the two-lot requirement. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 6 September 2028. The published procurement method detail is “Other”, and the evaluation basis is represented by the completed tender and award outcome. The award is active, and the underlying tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates established demand from Derbyshire County Council for outsourced SEND passenger transport in the East Midlands, delivered through its passenger transport purchasing system. The selected suppliers are both small and medium-sized enterprises, showing that the requirement can be served by smaller specialist operators rather than only large national transport groups. A credible future competitor would need the operational capacity to manage scheduled passenger journeys for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, alongside suitable vehicles, drivers and dispatch or route-management arrangements for a multi-lot council requirement. Experience of dependable public-sector passenger transport delivery and the ability to work within a dynamic purchasing system would strengthen a supplier’s position when this type of requirement returns.
