## Summary

Derbyshire County Council procured specialised transport services for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The requirement covers passenger transport routes within England, organised as one service area, with route mileage and contract length set out for each service. Providers were able to price individual services using cost-per-mile and variable mileage rates. The service is classified as road transport services. Work is for the council and is delivered across the relevant service area in England. This was a call-off from the PLACE059 Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System, indicating a requirement for passenger transport operators able to provide appropriately staffed and managed journeys for SEND passengers.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Green Destinations Ltd on 29 June 2026. The awarded value is £82,364.64. The contract runs from 30 June 2026 to 24 June 2028, with the tender description also providing for an option to extend by 12 months. It was a call-off from a passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, using the buyer’s stated alternative procurement method. The bid deadline was 29 June 2026 at 12:00. Bidders could bid for one or multiple services where applicable, using the Appendix B price schedule. Evaluation required cost-per-mile and variable mileage rates. Proposed drivers and passenger assistants had to be supported by enhanced DBS certificate numbers, issue dates and scanned certificates.

This award demonstrates Derbyshire County Council’s demand for outsourced SEND passenger transport delivered through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible future competitor would need operational capacity for specialised routes, reliable passenger transport resources and the ability to price work accurately by mileage, including variable mileage rates. Staffing arrangements are central: proposed drivers and passenger assistants must be capable of meeting enhanced DBS evidence requirements, with certificate numbers, issue dates and scanned certificates available for submission. The winning supplier was recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Relevant preparation therefore includes scale, compliant safeguarding checks, route planning and experience managing SEND passenger journeys for a local authority.
