Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire Dales District Council commissioned consultancy to carry out a comprehensive options appraisal for the future delivery of its waste collection and recycling service. The work is to inform the Council’s choices about how the service should be delivered in future; this is advisory work, rather than the collection or processing of waste itself. The requirement is environmental and waste-management consultancy, delivered for the Council in Derbyshire Dales, in the East Midlands. The Council is based in Matlock. The consultancy covers both waste collection and recycling, with the appraisal intended to consider future service delivery options. The procurement falls within public-service consultancy for waste and environmental matters.

The procurement has been awarded. Frith Resource Management Ltd was selected, with an award date of 20 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £34,978.63 excluding VAT. The contract period runs from 26 August to 18 December 2026. The Council used a selective framework call-off through the ESPO Consultancy Services Framework, under its waste and recycling lot, without reopening competition. The original tender submission deadline was 14 August 2026 at 12:00. The award was for the appraisal as a single requirement; no separate lot awards are reported. The procurement record does not describe a separate scoring breakdown or detailed evaluation criteria beyond the framework call-off route and the stated appraisal requirement.

This award demonstrates demand from Derbyshire Dales District Council for specialist consultancy that can assess options for delivering municipal waste collection and recycling services. A credible competitor when this requirement next comes to market would need evidence of waste-sector expertise, the ability to undertake a comprehensive options appraisal, and the analytical capability to compare practical service-delivery approaches for a local authority. Familiarity with environmental issues and the operational realities of collection and recycling would be directly relevant. The successful route was a call-off from an established consultancy framework, so suppliers should also consider access to suitable public-sector frameworks and the ability to meet their call-off requirements. The award went to an SME consultancy, indicating that this scale of advisory assignment can be delivered by a specialist small business. The work is consultancy, not frontline waste collection.
