Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council commissioned internal refurbishment works at Solomon House. The requirement is classified as refurbishment work (CPV 45453100) and falls within the works category. Delivery is in England, with the buying organisation based in Matlock. The scope concerns the internal refurbishment of an existing building rather than the supply of standalone goods or professional services. This is a council-led building works requirement suited to contractors able to manage and deliver refurbishment activity in an occupied or existing-property setting, subject to the detailed specification and site requirements. The procurement is relevant to construction and refurbishment businesses with the capability to undertake internal building improvement works for a public-sector client.

The procurement has been completed through a direct award. Bids were due by 9 September 2026 at 23:59, and the contract was awarded on 10 September 2026 to Stepnells. The awarded value is £1,118,521.98 including the stated currency of GBP. The award period runs from 16 September 2026 to 30 November 2026. The tender record also gives a contract period from 20 September 2026 to 30 November 2026. The published requirement was valued at £1,118,521.98. The procurement was marked complete, while the award is active. It was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award basis was direct award rather than an open competition.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Derbyshire County Council for substantial internal refurbishment works delivered by a small or medium-sized contractor. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need proven capability in managing internal building refurbishment, coordinating multiple work activities and delivering a complete works package to a public-sector client. The appointed supplier, Stepnells, is identified as an SME, indicating that this type of requirement can be delivered by a smaller construction business rather than only by a major national contractor. Relevant firms should be able to evidence dependable project management, suitable trades and subcontractor coordination, quality control, health and safety management, and the capacity to complete a sizeable refurbishment programme within a defined delivery window. Experience of council or other public-sector works would strengthen their position when demonstrating reliability and compliance.
