The requirement is for taxi and small-vehicle services to transport adult care passengers, operating for 52 weeks each year and potentially covering journeys across England. It is a service contract rather than a goods or works opportunity. The procurement is intended to support the council’s adult care provision through reliable, appropriately sized passenger transport. Businesses specialising in taxi operations, private-hire services, community transport or small-vehicle passenger services would be relevant, particularly those able to provide regular scheduled transport and manage the practical requirements of transporting adult care users. This procurement has been completed and awarded through a call-off from the PLACE059 Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender closed on 29 July 2026 at 9:00am. Derbyshire County Council awarded the contract to taxicoverukltd t/a chris's taxi's on 19 August 2026. The awarded value is £38,480. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 August 2028, for up to two years. The tender’s stated estimated value is also £38,480. The award is active and covers the full adult care passenger transport requirement rather than separately identified lots. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Derbyshire County Council for recurring adult care passenger transport delivered through its transport purchasing route. A credible future competitor would need access to taxis or small passenger vehicles, the operational capacity to provide transport throughout the year, and the reliability to support regular adult care journeys. Experience in passenger transport and the ability to manage scheduled services would strengthen a supplier’s position. The requirement is suitable for smaller operators and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so a local or regional business may be well placed if it can demonstrate dependable vehicle availability, competent drivers, appropriate safeguarding and service continuity. Understanding the council’s dynamic purchasing system route would also be important. ## Notice Call-off from the PLACE059 Transport Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), for the supply of taxi and small vehicles passenger transport services for Adult Care, 52 weeks per year for up to 2 years commencing August 2026. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/db6cb3e1-2814-4470-9877-6bb70b97682e | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 20 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | 29 Jul 2026 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 19 Aug 2026 | | Contract period | 24 Aug 2026 - 23 Aug 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £38,480 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £38,480 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Derbyshire County Council | | Locality | MATLOCK | | Postcode area | Derby | | Postcode | DE4 3AG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF13 South and West Derbyshire | | Local authority | Derbyshire Dales | | Electoral ward | Matlock West | | Westminster constituency | Derbyshire Dales | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | taxicoverukltd t/a chris's taxi's | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 60 - Transport services (excl.
