Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, initiated by Derby City Council, involved a direct award for the "ENQ1319c - Highways Concept Design" project. The procurement, under the industry category "Architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services," took place in the United Kingdom, with a total contract value of £29,853 GBP. The process concluded with the award status marked as active on 29th July 2026, following the tender period which ended on 18th July 2026. The contract, sourced as a Direct Award via the ESPO 664_25 framework, is set to run from 20th July 2026 until 30th September 2026, reflecting Derby City Council's continued investment in infrastructure development.

This tender presents significant opportunities for firms involved in engineering and architectural design, particularly those capable of delivering high-standard highways concept designs. Although the direct award process limits competition, large-scale enterprises like ARCADIS CONSULTING (UK) LIMITED, which was selected as the supplier, are well-suited to meet the complex demands of such projects. Companies seeking to engage in future opportunities of similar nature can benefit from maintaining strong ties with public sector procurement frameworks, adding value through innovative design and engineering solutions tailored to urban development needs in the UK.
