Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured interim management support for vacant management positions within its waste service. The requirement is classified as consulting services for water supply and waste consultancy, covering senior interim leadership rather than routine waste collection or disposal operations. The service is delivered for the council in Derby, England, within the United Kingdom. This is a public-sector waste management consultancy opportunity aimed at organisations able to provide an experienced interim head or equivalent management resource, with the capacity to support the council’s waste function during a period of vacant leadership positions. The buyer is Derby City Council, whose procurement activity relates directly to local authority waste services and their management.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award procedure. The award decision was made on 29 September 2025 to APSE Synergy Limited for £177,500 excluding any separately stated taxes. The contract period runs from 1 October 2025 to 31 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 28 September 2025. The requirement was evaluated as a services contract for interim waste management consultancy. APSE Synergy Limited is the selected supplier, and the award is active. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. There were no separate lots or alternative awards.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it indicates demand from Derby City Council for senior interim leadership within a local authority waste service. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need demonstrable experience of taking responsibility for waste-service management vacancies, providing an effective interim head or equivalent senior manager, and advising on operational and organisational issues in a public-sector environment. Relevant capability in waste consultancy is central, with wider water-supply consultancy expertise also aligned to the classification used for the requirement. The selected supplier is a large organisation, so competing businesses would need sufficient management depth, senior resource availability and the ability to deliver a substantial standalone assignment rather than a small specialist input.
