Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council commissioned internal refurbishment works at Glenholme, classified as building completion work. The procurement is for construction and building-completion activity rather than the supply of goods or consultancy services. The work is to be delivered in England, with the buying organisation based in Matlock, Derbyshire. The requirement is associated with the council’s PRP318 Glenholme project and covers refurbishment inside the building. Businesses specialising in internal building refurbishment, fit-out, repair and completion works would be the most relevant comparators. The opportunity is categorised as works and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The named buyer is Derbyshire County Council, while the selected contractor was Stepnells.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Stepnells on 20 August 2026. It used a direct award procedure, with the tender deadline recorded as 19 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £1,125,847 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 21 August 2026 to 27 November 2026. The tender’s overall works period was recorded as 20 August 2026 to 27 November 2026. The procurement was not divided into lots. The published evaluation basis is the direct-award route; no separate price, quality or technical weighting is stated. Derbyshire County Council is the buyer and Stepnells is the active awarded supplier.

This award indicates that Derbyshire County Council uses direct awards for substantial internal refurbishment and building-completion requirements, and that an SME contractor can be selected for work of this scale. Relevant competitors would need practical capability in internal refurbishment, building completion, coordination of construction trades and delivery within a short, defined programme. Evidence of successfully managing comparable refurbishment projects, reliable site delivery, suitable workforce capacity and effective contract administration would strengthen credibility. Firms should also understand the council’s requirements for working in public-sector buildings and demonstrate the ability to manage quality, safety, sequencing and handover. Contractors focused on refurbishment and fit-out, particularly established SMEs, are the closest commercial peers for this buyer’s requirement.
