Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured large coverings for central island units, classified as umbrellas (CPV 39295200). This is a goods requirement rather than a works or services contract. The supplied items are intended for use at central island units in the East Midlands. The procurement was managed by Derby City Council, based at the Council House in Derby. The requirement is relevant to manufacturers, distributors and specialist suppliers of large commercial umbrellas or similar covering products, particularly businesses able to provide equipment suitable for public-sector or high-footfall settings. The stated purpose is limited to supplying large coverings for the central island units.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 13 May 2026 through an other direct-award procedure. A & E Leisure Limited was selected as supplier for £50,994.34 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 12 June 2026 to 31 July 2026. The tender submission deadline was 13 May 2026 at 12:00 BST. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the award is recorded as active. The requirement was handled as a single goods procurement for delivery in the East Midlands. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and awarded value; no separate competitive evaluation weighting is recorded.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Derby City Council for large commercial coverings serving central island units, with a scale suitable for an SME supplier. Businesses considering similar future work would need credible capability in sourcing or manufacturing large umbrellas and managing the supply of durable, fit-for-purpose products for council settings. Relevant experience would include delivering comparable commercial covering equipment, understanding site-specific dimensions and practical constraints, and maintaining reliable fulfilment arrangements. Suppliers with a clear public-sector delivery record, strong product quality controls and the capacity to handle a complete requirement of this type would be well placed when the council next reviews comparable needs.
