Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured the operation of its Satellite Winter Depot at Tibshelf to support the council’s gritting and highway winter service. The work combines winter depot operations with highway maintenance support: secure on-site storage for gritting vehicles and salt, keeping these resources ready for immediate use, and welfare facilities for operational staff, including rest areas and washrooms. The depot serves personnel working during winter service operations. The procurement is categorised as highway works, with a focus on road maintenance. The buying organisation is Derbyshire County Council, based in Matlock; the operational location is Tibshelf, Derbyshire.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a direct award. Peter Byard Plant Hire Ltd was selected as the supplier. The award value is £83,160. The award date was 21 September 2026, and the contract runs from 22 September 2026 to 20 September 2029. The submission deadline was 1 September 2026. The requirement was treated as a single depot-operation package rather than a set of separately awarded lots. The published procurement information does not set out separate technical or price weightings for evaluation. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable for the work, while voluntary, community and social enterprises were not identified as suitable.

This award shows demand from Derbyshire County Council for a supplier able to operate a dedicated winter depot supporting gritting and highway winter services. A credible competitor would need to manage secure, accessible storage for operational vehicles and salt, ensuring equipment and materials can be deployed promptly, and provide practical welfare facilities for staff, including rest and washroom provision. The requirement brings depot operations and highway winter maintenance support together, so relevant experience would include coordinating site facilities with time-critical winter service activity. The council used a direct award for this package, and the stated suitability for SMEs indicates that businesses of that size may be capable of delivering the requirement. Suppliers whose strengths are unrelated to winter depot operations or highway service support are less closely matched.
