Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council has initiated a procurement process for construction work related to gas diversion under the title "PLACE930H V37871 - Somersall Lane FB Gas diversion works". The project involves the diversion of a gas main over an adjacent highway bridge to mitigate flood risks during the forthcoming winter. This procurement falls under the industry category of construction, classified specifically under CPV code 45000000. The procurement process is a direct single tender action involving Cadent Gas Plc, and it is already in the active tender stage, with the tender published on 2nd September 2025. The location for this contract is England, with key procurement dates indicating the tender period conclusion on the same day, 2nd September 2025. The contract period is set from 3rd September to 2nd December 2025, with an estimated contract value of £57,475.83.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in construction and infrastructure projects, particularly those specialising in utility diversions and highway infrastructure. However, due to the nature of the procurement method, it might be best suited to organisations already familiar with public-sector operations and possessing relevant certifications and experience. Large-scale construction companies which can manage direct awards effectively and operate efficiently within public procurement constraints would find this contract beneficial in expanding their portfolio in technical infrastructure projects. Despite the procurement being below the threshold, engagement with Derbyshire County Council can pave the way for future collaborations, enhancing reputation and credibility in the public sector domain.
