Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council has procured secure off-site document storage to meet its document-retention requirements. The service is for storing the Council’s records away from its premises, with security and retention compliance central to the requirement. The work is based in Derby, England. The procurement was made through the ESPO framework, under its document-storage lot. This is a records-management and storage service rather than a purchase of physical goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Restore PLC. The award was made on 30 September 2026. The initial contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with two optional 12-month extensions; the stated maximum contract end date is 30 September 2029. The procurement’s estimated value was £77,250 to £154,500. The published award value is recorded as £0, so it does not provide a usable contract price. The Council used a selective call-off from the ESPO framework agreement, Lot 2. The source gives no separate scoring or evaluation criteria for the call-off.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s recurring storage requirement, the award indicates demand for secure, off-site custody of Council records to support retention compliance. A credible competitor would need facilities and operational controls suited to secure storage, reliable retrieval and records management, and the capacity to serve a local authority over a sustained contract period. The Council used the ESPO framework route for this purchase, so framework appointment and the ability to compete for relevant call-offs are commercially important. Restore PLC, a large supplier, was selected; this shows the buyer has placed the work with a provider able to deliver at organisational scale. The requirement is specifically document storage and retention support, rather than general office or information-management services.
