Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the refurbishment of the Rowsley Boardwalk section of the White Peak Loop Cycle Trail was conducted by Derbyshire County Council, a sub-central government authority in the United Kingdom. Located between Harrison Way, Matlock and Old Station Close, Rowsley, the project falls under the works category in the civil engineering industry. The open procurement method allowed this below-threshold open competition to progress through various stages, including the active tender period which concluded on 24th October 2025. The contract was awarded on 13th January 2026, to ORANGE CONSTRUCTION DERBY LIMITED, with the contract period commencing from 12th January 2026 and concluding on 12th April 2026. The refurbishment is a strategic initiative aimed at maintaining this popular active travel route managed by Derbyshire County Council's Place Department.

This tender presented significant opportunities for businesses operating within the construction and civil engineering sector, particularly those capable of undertaking infrastructure refurbishment projects. With the evaluation criteria weighted 55% on price and 45% on quality, businesses with competitive pricing strategies and high-quality deliverables were well-positioned to compete. While the contract's total value was approximately £211,200, the procurement's openness and suitability requirements for SMEs encouraged local businesses to engage in this project, promoting business growth and enhancing their regional footprint. The successful bid by a local SME, ORANGE CONSTRUCTION DERBY LIMITED, underscores the potential opportunities for regional enterprises in public sector contracts.
