## Summary

Derby City Council is planning a procurement process for Home to School Transport services, currently in the planning stage as of 2nd June 2025. The tender is classified under the transport services industry category and will operate within the UKF1 region, specifically in Derby, United Kingdom. The procurement method is open, utilising a dynamic market approach, with the legal basis outlined in the 2023/54 UKPGA legislation. This notice serves as a pipeline notification, indicating the council's intention to invite applications soon. The contract period is anticipated to run from 1st September 2026 to 31st August 2031, with a focus on services provision. The initiatives are aimed at creating a dynamic purchasing system, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This procurement offers potential business growth by providing access to a long-term contract with a governmental entity, Derby City Council, thus ensuring a reliable client and steady revenue stream. Businesses specialising in transport services, especially those with experience in providing service to educational institutions, will find this opportunity highly attractive. The dynamic market approach allows flexibility and encourages competition, making it ideally suited for SMEs and VCSEs aiming to expand their market reach within the public sector. Enterprises with capabilities in managing and executing transport logistics will be well-positioned to compete in this process.
