Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire Dales District Council, located in Matlock, has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "Supply of Interim Enforcement Team Leader" within the services category. This process was necessary due to recruitment challenges for the permanent position and spans from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with the option to extend to 31 March 2029, depending on budget approval and business needs. The Council opted for a direct award procurement method, emphasising continuity of service and minimising technical difficulties. CARRINGTON WEST LIMITED, a supplier based in Portsmouth, has been selected to fulfil this £324,000 contract, which is above the threshold. Key dates include a pending award status as of 11 March 2026, with the contract signature anticipated by 27 March 2026.

This tender represents growth opportunities for SMEs, especially those specialising in providing temporary personnel services, such as team leads in enforcement roles. Businesses adept in bridging gaps in public service roles through interim staffing can leverage existing contracts to extend their service provision, offering stability and continuity for local governmental agencies. CARRINGTON WEST LIMITED exemplifies such a business, benefitting from its established relationship with the Council. Other organisations capable of offering compatible staffing solutions and familiarity with local government operations may find similar opportunities lucrative, specifically if they can adapt quickly to service and budget changes and focus on long-term collaborations.
