Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Derbyshire County Council, involved the provision of adult care passenger transport services, specifically to and from the Bright Opportunities Day Centre. The procurement, classified under Road transport services (CPV 60100000), was targeted within the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The process has reached the award stage as of 1st April 2026, with A's Travel being the successful supplier. The contract, valued at £36,504, will commence on 8th April 2026 and conclude on 7th April 2028. The procurement method was categorised as "Other," indicating a deviation from standard procedures, with the tendering period ending on 11th March 2026.

This tender opportunity highlights significant potential for business growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the services sector. Companies specialising in transport solutions, possibly with current operations within the East Midlands region, would have been ideally suited to compete. The contract offers a stable engagement over a two-year period, allowing businesses to expand their footprint in public sector contracts. Derbyshire County Council’s focus on SMEs could encourage more transport service providers to participate in future opportunities.
