Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council is planning a procurement process titled "Geotechnical Works," focusing on architectural, construction, engineering, and inspection services within the United Kingdom. Specifically, this initiative addresses highways engineering, construction, property, and transportation industries, mainly in the UKF1 region. The process, initiated on 3rd March 2026, is currently in the planning update stage with an anticipated future notice date on 30th April 2026. The contract period will commence on 1st July 2026 and may extend up to 30th June 2030, including options for renewal. The procurement aims to appoint contractors for site investigation services and technical geotechnical information, under a legal framework established by UKPGA 2023/54, with a projected value of up to £6,000,000 GBP.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specializing in geotechnical services to expand their portfolio and establish long-term partnerships with Derbyshire County Council. Companies with expertise in providing technical services related to highways engineering and construction are particularly well-positioned to benefit. Participation in this procurement could provide growth through extended service agreements and specialised operations in the region for businesses that can offer comprehensive site investigation and technical support in the construction sector. The planned procurement seeks agile and capable firms ready to contribute to regional infrastructure projects, which can leverage the council's commitment to substantial public sector investment.
