Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured street lighting support consultancy services for its S278 Street Lighting Support Scheme, covering the 2026–2027 period. The requirement sits within construction-related services and includes architectural, engineering and inspection support, recruitment services, business and management consultancy, and environmental management. The work is delivered in England. It is relevant to organisations providing professional consultancy and technical support for street lighting schemes, particularly firms able to combine engineering or construction expertise with advisory, inspection and project-support services. The buyer is Derbyshire County Council, based at County Hall in Matlock. The selected supplier is Amey OW Ltd, a large organisation, indicating that the requirement was treated as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Amey OW Ltd on 30 June 2026. Derbyshire County Council used a direct award procedure. The tender submission deadline was 26 June 2026 at 09:00. The award value was £80,000. The contract runs from 1 July 2026 to 1 July 2027. The tender was classified as a services requirement, with construction work as its primary classification and additional classifications covering architectural, construction, engineering and inspection services, recruitment, business and management consultancy, and environmental management. The award is active. This outcome identifies the route used by the council and the commercial scale and duration attached to its street lighting support requirement.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for external street lighting consultancy support from Derbyshire County Council. A credible future competitor would need to provide professional technical advice connected with construction and street lighting schemes, supported by engineering, inspection or related consultancy capability. The wider classifications indicate that the buyer may value a supplier able to coordinate advisory, project-support, recruitment or management functions alongside core technical services, where relevant to delivery. The procurement was directly awarded to a large supplier and marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so businesses assessing similar work should consider whether they have the organisational scale, multidisciplinary resources and delivery capacity expected for this buyer’s requirement.
