## Summary

Derbyshire County Council procured road transport services for three service areas within England, under its SEND Summer 2026 South Batch 11 requirement. The work is a call-off from the PLACE059 Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System and is intended to support transport provision during the academic year. The buying organisation is Derbyshire County Council, based at County Hall in Matlock. The requirement is classified as road transport services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. Three separate suppliers were selected to deliver the service: CROWN EXEC DERBY TRAVEL LTD, eagle city cars and Michaels taxis.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a call-off from a passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender comprised three service areas. The contract was awarded on 6 August 2026 to CROWN EXEC DERBY TRAVEL LTD, eagle city cars and Michaels taxis for £255,151. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, covering two academic years, with an option to extend by a further 12 months. The tender submission deadline was 15 July 2026 at 9am. The procurement category was services, and the stated basis was an alternative procedure identified as ‘Other’.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for outsourced SEND passenger transport across Derbyshire, delivered through a Dynamic Purchasing System and divided into manageable service areas. The successful supplier profile shows that small transport operators and taxi businesses can meet the buyer’s needs, including through several providers working across the overall requirement. Competitors would need reliable road transport capacity, suitable vehicles and drivers, and the operational ability to provide consistent journeys for children and young people throughout school terms. Familiarity with public-sector call-off processes, service-area bidding and the practical demands of academic-year transport would strengthen credibility when this buyer next reviews a comparable requirement. The scale also indicates that delivery can be shared across multiple local operators rather than requiring one large fleet.

## Notice
