Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council is buying passenger transport for adult care, using taxis and other small vehicles. The service is required throughout the year, with transport provided for 52 weeks annually. The procurement is a call-off from the council’s transport dynamic purchasing system. Delivery is in England; the council is based in Matlock, Derbyshire. This is a passenger transport service rather than a purchase of vehicles. The requirement is for the named Derbyshire Pony Trekking and Spark Ink adult care transport provision, as identified in the procurement title. Suppliers whose business covers local passenger transport using taxis or small vehicles are the most directly relevant.

The procurement is complete and a contract has been awarded to Awami Travel Ltd. The award was made on 7 October 2026, following a deadline for submissions of 5 October 2026 at 09:00. The award value is £45,344. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 11 October 2028, for up to two years. This was a call-off from the PLACE059 Transport Dynamic Purchasing System; the procurement method is described as “Other”. The process records a completed tender, but does not set out an evaluation basis or any lot structure. Derbyshire County Council is the buyer. The awarded supplier is identified as an SME.

This award demonstrates demand from Derbyshire County Council for recurring adult care passenger transport using taxis and small vehicles, on a 52-week-per-year service basis. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide dependable passenger transport capacity throughout the year and be able to serve the specified adult care journeys with suitable taxis or small vehicles. The successful supplier was an SME, indicating that a smaller transport business was able to secure the work. The route used was a call-off from the council’s transport dynamic purchasing system, so experience of participating in and responding through that purchasing route would be relevant. The requirement is specifically adult care transport for the provision named in the procurement, rather than general transport work.
