## Summary

Derbyshire County Council procured specialised transport for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), classified as road transport services. The requirement covers two service areas within the region, with providers able to deliver one or multiple services where applicable. Services are delivered in England, for routes associated with the Brackenfield area. The buyer is Derbyshire County Council, based at County Hall in Matlock. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general logistics opportunity. It is relevant to operators able to provide safe, managed transport for SEND passengers, including the provision of suitably vetted drivers and passenger assistants.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 7 July 2026 through a call-off from the PLACE059 Passenger Transport dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded to eagle city cars and Rosliston Cars Ltd, jointly, for £89,304. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028, with an option to extend by 12 months. The tender covered two service areas, and suppliers could bid for one or multiple services. Bids were to be priced using cost-per-mile and variable mileage rates in the price schedule. The stated bid closing date was 26 June 2026 at 09:00. The procurement was a DPS call-off using the buyer’s specified alternative procedure.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for specialist SEND passenger transport within Derbyshire’s wider service area, delivered through a passenger transport DPS. A credible future competitor would need operational capacity for multiple dedicated routes or service areas, together with vehicles and procedures suitable for transporting SEND passengers safely and reliably. The requirement specifically points to transparent cost-per-mile and variable mileage pricing, so operators would need robust mileage management and pricing controls. Compliance capability is central: proposed drivers and passenger assistants must have enhanced DBS certificates, with certificate numbers, issue dates and scanned evidence available. Local SMEs can be relevant, as both successful suppliers are recorded as small enterprises. Experience in safeguarding, assisted travel and passenger care would strengthen a future response.
