Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council has completed the procurement process for the construction of affordable homes on Blackmore Street, Derby, under tender reference TD2245. This tender, classified under Architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services, involves a call-off from a framework agreement, reflecting a selective procurement method. The contract was awarded to Mercer Building Solutions Limited, with the contract period running from 24th April 2025 to 7th September 2027. The total contract value is £6,772,221. This award stage was formalised on 14th April 2025 and published on 21st January 2026. The overall project aims to contribute to the housing development needs in Derby, DE23 8AX, England. Approximately, the tender duration was from the end of the tender period on 13th April 2025.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities for companies involved in construction and engineering, particularly those experienced in residential development projects. Since the procurement method was selective and derived from an existing framework, it reflects a competitive yet viable prospect for larger enterprises similar to Mercer Building Solutions Limited. Although not directly suitable for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) or those categorised under voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE), opportunities may arise in the form of subcontracting or collaborative ventures. Companies with robust project management capabilities and a strong track record in delivering large-scale housing projects may look to similar future opportunities with local councils to expand their portfolio and presence in the region.
