Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured financial consultancy services to support its Future Delivery of Waste project. The requirement was for the appointment of suitable financial advisers to provide advice and support to the council as it considers the future delivery model for waste services. The work is delivered in England for the council, based in Matlock. This is a professional advisory opportunity rather than a waste collection, treatment or infrastructure contract: relevant suppliers are firms providing financial advice, commercial analysis and related support for public-sector waste or service-delivery projects. The procurement falls under CPV 66171000, financial consultancy services, and is categorised as a services requirement. It was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 21 August 2026 to KPMG UK. It was a call-off from the ESPO Consultancy Services Framework 664_25, for the Future Delivery of Waste project, with a contract value of £1,500,000. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 1 November 2027. The procurement used the framework’s stated other method. The tender deadline was 31 July 2026 at 12:00. The award was active, and the awarded value matches the overall estimated tender value. The contracting authority was Derbyshire County Council. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one financial consultancy requirement; the award concerns advisory support for the council’s waste-service delivery project rather than physical waste operations.

This award demonstrates that Derbyshire County Council uses external financial advisers when developing the future delivery of its waste services, and that substantial specialist support can be commissioned through an established consultancy framework. A credible future competitor would need a strong public-sector financial advisory practice, with experience of assessing service-delivery models and advising councils on waste-related transformation or procurement decisions. Relevant capability is likely to include financial modelling, options appraisal, commercial analysis, affordability assessment, risk evaluation and clear advice for senior decision-makers. Suppliers should also be able to work within a framework call-off route and provide a team with sufficient capacity for a complex, multi-stage local-government project. The requirement’s SME suitability indicates that a capable specialist or consortium could be competitive, despite the scale and strategic importance of the assignment.
