Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured ecological and environmental planning support for the Darley Abbey Mills Bridge. The requirement is classified as environmental services and is described in the procurement as works. Delivery is in the United Kingdom, with the buying organisation based in Derby. The scope concerns environmental planning and ecological support associated with the bridge, rather than construction of the bridge itself. The appointed provider is Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited, a large UK consultancy. This opportunity is therefore relevant to environmental consultancies, ecological practices and planning specialists able to support infrastructure projects and provide advice on environmental matters linked to bridge works.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 6 July 2026 to Arcadis Consulting (UK) Limited. Derby City Council used a direct award through the ESPO 664-25 Framework. The awarded contract value is £28,808 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract runs from 7 July 2026 to 14 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 5 July 2026. The contract covers the environmental planning and ecological support requirement for Darley Abbey Mills Bridge. The procurement was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. One supplier received the active award.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear indication of Derby City Council’s demand for specialist environmental support connected with bridge and infrastructure work. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need practical capability in ecological assessment and environmental planning, with the ability to apply that expertise to a defined bridge project and its associated delivery needs. The appointed supplier’s profile indicates that the council selected a large consultancy, and the procurement route shows that access to the ESPO 664-25 Framework was central to the award. Businesses considering similar work should therefore assess their framework position, infrastructure experience and capacity to provide coordinated environmental advice.
