Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured best interests assessor services through its TD2021 framework. The requirement covers call-offs from the framework for the provision of assessors, with the procurement describing these as health and social work services. Work is to be delivered in the East Midlands. This is a professional services requirement rather than the supply of goods or construction works, and is relevant to organisations providing qualified or suitably experienced best interests assessment services. The framework route indicates that the council is buying specific assignments from an established supplier base, rather than procuring a broad standalone service from the open market.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a selective call-off from the TD2021 framework. Derby City Council awarded the contract to a framework supplier on 31 March 2026. The awarded value is £52,907.78, including the stated currency, with a contract period from 1 April 2026 to 30 June 2026. The tender submission deadline was 31 March 2026 at 23:00. The call-off relates to assignments above £25,000 and has a total stated procurement value of £52,907.78. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. One supplier is recorded as receiving the active award.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined public-sector demand for best interests assessors in the East Midlands, delivered through Derby City Council’s TD2021 framework. A credible competitor would need to provide health and social work services focused specifically on best interests assessment, with enough professional capacity to handle multiple council call-offs and assignments at this scale. Experience of working within a framework agreement and responding to selective call-off requirements would be important. The requirement is marked as suitable for SMEs, so a specialist smaller provider with relevant assessor expertise and reliable delivery capacity could be well placed when comparable work is next brought to market.
