Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured professional staffing and secondment services for general civil and highway activities, including a highway maintenance engineer. The requirement is for engineering personnel supporting the council’s highway work, rather than construction works themselves. Delivery is identified as being in England; Matlock is the council’s address.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Waterman Aspen through an open procedure. The award was made on 25 September 2026, with a value of £72,185.04. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The submission deadline was 25 September 2026 at 09:00. The published information describes the requirement and route, but does not set out the basis used to evaluate bids.

The award demonstrates demand from Derbyshire County Council for agency engineering staff and secondments focused on civil and highway activities, including highway maintenance engineering. Suppliers competing for a comparable requirement would need to show they can provide appropriately experienced highway engineering personnel and cover the council’s professional staffing needs. Waterman Aspen, identified as a large supplier, won this award. The stated requirement is specific to civil and highway work; general recruitment or unrelated construction capability alone would not establish a close fit.
