Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured specialised passenger transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement was a service contract for road transport, delivered in the East Midlands. It was arranged as a call-off from the PLACE059 Dynamic Purchasing System and comprised one service lot. The buyer is Derbyshire County Council, based at County Hall in Matlock. The opportunity concerns the provision of passenger transport rather than vehicle supply, construction or general logistics. It is relevant to operators that can deliver specialised SEND journeys for the council and serve the East Midlands area, including small and medium-sized businesses with suitable local transport capability.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a call-off from the PLACE059 Dynamic Purchasing System. Bids were due by 13 July 2026 at 9:00am. Derbyshire County Council awarded the contract on 19 July 2026 to Albert Jesse Bonser, a sole trader classified as an SME. The awarded value is £54,560 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The procurement was for one service lot, with road transport services as its classification. The recorded procurement method detail is “Other”. The tender is recorded as complete, and the award is active.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialised SEND passenger transport from Derbyshire County Council, delivered within the East Midlands and suitable for an SME supplier. Competitors would need to operate passenger transport services capable of supporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, with the reliability, safeguarding awareness and practical arrangements needed for regular supported journeys. A credible future supplier would also need to understand how to work through a Dynamic Purchasing System call-off, respond to individual transport requirements and maintain service continuity across the relevant locality. The successful supplier being a sole trader indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a smaller operator, provided it has the appropriate vehicles, drivers, availability and operational capacity.
