Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council, acting as the buying organisation, has undertaken a procurement process for "PLACE774ET Multi-Disciplinary Assistance for delivery of Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP)", situated in the UKF13 region, specifically Matlock, United Kingdom. The procurement involves transport systems consultancy services with the objective to enhance bus services through the BSIP initiative, covering aspects like promotional ticketing, transport hubs, and marketing campaigns. Initially awarded on 22 April 2025, the contract, under a direct award method due to the strategic nature of the work, was expected to end on 31 March 2026. An amendment on 30 December 2025 extended the contract’s scope, citing the necessity for continuity and existing working relationships with HaskoningDHV UK Limited, the principal supplier.

This tender allows businesses to engage in the growing market of public transportation improvements, potentially creating opportunities for companies specialising in transport consultancy, marketing, and demand-responsive systems. Firms with strengths in multi-disciplinary project delivery and an understanding of public sector engagement processes would be particularly well-suited to benefit from this contract’s outcomes, as it prioritises familiarity with technical work and knowledge of the existing program. Furthermore, being a high-value contract exceeding thresholds, it supports substantial business growth, especially for organisations like HaskoningDHV UK Limited, which has been directly involved in providing required services under a structured governmental framework.
