Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire Dales District Council has finalised a public procurement process to directly award a contract for the "Supply of Interim Enforcement Team Leader" in response to difficulty filling the role through conventional recruitment efforts. The award was made to CARRINGTON WEST LIMITED as an extension to existing services, ensuring continuity and minimising operational disruptions. This contract, valued at £324,000, extends from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027, with an option for further extensions potentially up to 31 March 2029. The procurement method utilised was a direct award, reflecting the specific need for continuity of service within the public authority - sub-central government classification. The primary location for service delivery is in the region of UKF13, United Kingdom.

This tender provides services-related business opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in personnel supply, including temporary staffing solutions. SMEs in the industry will find this contract to be particularly appropriate, given its specific service requirements and continuity expectations. Businesses looking to engage in similar opportunities may consider this procurement as a case study for leveraging their capabilities by providing skilled temporary staff to government entities. Engaging in such contracts can significantly boost business growth by establishing long-term relationships with public authorities, especially when the service requires consistent delivery and technical specificity that an existing supplier can offer.

Notice Description

Despite a number of recruitment campaigns, the council has been unable to appoint to the vacant Enforcement Team Leader position. In order to sustain the delivery of the service, provide continuity of staff, minimise technical difficulties and inconvenience, and avoid duplication of costs, it is necessary to retain the services of the interim Enforcement Team Leader for a further period from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2027.
