Summary of the contracting process

Amber Valley Borough Council recently completed the tender process for appointing external solicitors to manage a Compulsory Purchase Order for a property in Ripley, under Section 17 of the Housing Act 1985. The contract was successfully awarded on 2nd April 2026 through an open, competitive procurement method. This process focused on legal services, particularly under the CPV classification 79100000. The open procedure commenced in late February and was concluded with an award to Gateley Plc. located in Birmingham. Coordination for this contract was facilitated by the North East Derbyshire District Council's e-Tendering System.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in legal services, especially those experienced in managing compulsory purchase orders and related procedures. As such, it is ideal for firms looking to expand their public sector portfolio within the United Kingdom and potentially across international locations listed, including the Channel Islands and British Oversea Territories. The procurement stage was designed to be competitive and open to diverse legal firms, however, the suitability was not targeted towards SMEs and VCSEs, offering larger legal firms a better fit to meet the Council's requirements.
