Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured agency professional staff and secondment support, with the specific requirement described as a bridge engineer. The wider procurement title refers to general civil and highway activities, but the stated service is focused on supplying bridge engineering expertise rather than construction works. The council is based in Matlock, and the stated delivery location is England. This is a specialist recruitment and engineering staffing requirement: relevant suppliers are those able to source and provide suitably experienced bridge engineers for public-sector civil and highway activity. The procurement also carries classifications covering engineering, recruitment, consultancy and environmental management, though the specific description identifies bridge engineering staff as the requirement.

The procurement is complete and Derbyshire County Council awarded the contract to Matchtech Group (UK) Ltd on 25 September 2026. The awarded value is £54,648. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The council used an open procedure. The stated tender deadline was 24 September 2026 at 14:00. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and is described as a single bridge engineer staffing need; no separate lots are identified. The process data does not set out detailed eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria, so the award outcome and open procedure are the main available indicators of how suppliers competed.

This award demonstrates demand from Derbyshire County Council for agency-supplied bridge engineering expertise to support civil and highway activities. A supplier seeking to compete for a comparable future requirement would need an effective recruitment capability for locating and placing bridge engineers, together with access to professionals whose experience matches public-sector infrastructure work. The successful supplier was a large recruitment and staffing business, indicating that the buyer selected an established agency for this requirement; this does not establish a formal size threshold. Suppliers should be able to provide suitably qualified engineering personnel and manage a secondment or agency placement for the council. The requirement is focused on professional staffing, rather than delivery of a construction project, so recruitment reach and the ability to supply the relevant specialist resource are central to commercial credibility.
