Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured construction-related professional services to support its Structures team in delivering the 2026–27 works programme. The requirement is classified as construction work (CPV 45000000), but the procurement category is services rather than physical construction works. The appointed supplier is expected to provide programme assistance connected with the council’s structures work. The buying organisation is Derby City Council, based in Derby, England, and the requirement is for delivery in the United Kingdom. This opportunity is therefore most relevant to consultancies and engineering or construction-sector businesses that support public-sector structures programmes, rather than suppliers of general goods or unrelated services.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a direct award through a framework. Bids were due by 23 March 2026. The contract was awarded to AECOM Ltd on 24 March 2026 for £25,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 25 March 2026 to 26 March 2027. The tender was marked complete, and the award is active. There was one requirement rather than a lot structure. The recorded suitability assessment does not identify the opportunity as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The outcome indicates a framework-based route rather than an open competition for this procurement.

For suppliers that did not win this contract, the award provides a clear indication that Derby City Council uses framework-based direct awards to obtain specialist support for its structures works programme. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to demonstrate relevant structures-sector capability, practical experience supporting the delivery of public works programmes, and the capacity to provide professional services to a council team. The incumbent is a large organisation, so businesses assessing their position should consider whether they can match the required organisational scale, technical depth and delivery assurance, or participate through a framework partner or subcontracting arrangement. The requirement points to continuing commercial relevance for firms focused on structures and programme support.
