Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Derbyshire County Council focused on ground improvement treatment for the Long Eaton Library, entailing foundation work to address movement issues identified in a structural appraisal. This process is categorised under the 'works' industry, with the project location being in the region of UKF1, United Kingdom. The contract, awarded with the procurement method 'Below threshold - unknown', was signed on 7 August 2025 and will be active from 22 September to 24 October 2025. The process has reached the contract award stage, with Geobear fulfilling the role of supplier. The contract is valued at £38,458.37 gross (£32,048.64 net) and is under the legislation '2023/54' scheme as per UK legal requirements.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, notably for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) within the construction and groundwork sectors. Companies that specialise in structural foundation work are particularly well-suited to compete for such projects, given the specific requirements of addressing foundation movement. Additionally, businesses within reasonable proximity to the United Kingdom's UKF1 region could leverage logistical advantages. The involvement of Derbyshire County Council, a sub-central government public authority, suggests potential for further opportunities with local government entities for businesses looking to expand their client base in the public sector.
