Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured technical support for its highways maintenance framework. The work centres on reviewing the council’s existing framework documentation and providing related professional engineering and inspection support. It is a services requirement in the architectural, construction, engineering and inspection field (CPV 71000000), delivered for Derby City Council in the United Kingdom. Derby City Council is the buying organisation. The requirement is therefore suited to firms that advise public-sector highways clients on framework documentation, procurement structures and technical engineering matters, rather than to contractors delivering physical highway maintenance works. The scope is focused on a review and associated technical support for the council’s framework arrangements.

This procurement has been completed and awarded through a direct award via a framework. The contract was awarded to Stantec UK Limited on 24 May 2026 for £75,000. The contract period runs from 25 May 2026 to 31 March 2027. The earlier tender deadline was 23 May 2026. The procurement was classified as services and had an estimated value of £75,000. Stantec UK Limited is the sole named awarded supplier. The published outcome records an active award. The route to market was a direct framework award, so competition was conducted through the existing framework rather than as an open tender. The requirement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For suppliers assessing future demand from Derby City Council, this award indicates a requirement for specialist technical advice around highways maintenance framework documentation. Credible competitors would need experience reviewing and improving public-sector framework documents, understanding highways maintenance procurement, and translating engineering and inspection requirements into clear, workable contractual arrangements. Familiarity with council procurement processes and framework design would be important, as would the ability to provide authoritative technical review rather than physical maintenance delivery. The selected supplier was a large organisation, and the requirement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the buyer valued substantial organisational capacity and established professional capability for this assignment. Comparable firms should be able to demonstrate relevant highways, engineering and public-sector framework experience.
