Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council appointed technical advisers to support its Future Delivery of Waste project. The requirement covers technical analysis and consultancy, including advice on environmental issues, for the Council’s future waste-delivery arrangements. It is a professional services contract delivered in England, with the buying organisation based at County Hall, Matlock. The opportunity is relevant to consultancies able to provide technical advice and support on waste services, waste infrastructure, environmental matters and associated delivery planning. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named requirement concerns advisory capability rather than the direct supply of waste collection, treatment or disposal services.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Derbyshire County Council made an active award to Stantec UK Limited on 21 August 2026. The awarded value is £1,500,000. The contract runs from 25 August 2026 to 1 November 2027. The Council used a call-off from the ESPO Consultancy Services Framework, reference 664_25, for the appointment of technical advisers. The tender deadline was 1 July 2026 at 12:00. It was conducted as a services procurement using the stated ‘Other’ method. The published classification covers technical analysis or consultancy services and environmental issues consultancy services. The award was made to one supplier.

This award demonstrates a substantial requirement for specialist consultancy support around the future delivery of waste for Derbyshire County Council. Suppliers preparing for comparable work should be able to combine technical analysis with practical advice on waste-service models, environmental issues and delivery planning. Credibility would come from demonstrable experience advising public bodies or waste-sector clients on complex service change, supported by suitably qualified technical and environmental professionals. Firms should also be able to translate analysis into clear recommendations that inform procurement, infrastructure, operations and long-term service decisions. The Council’s use of a consultancy framework shows the value of framework access and an ability to compete for call-off work. SMEs are expressly suitable, while the award indicates capacity to manage a sizeable advisory commission.
