Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council, a sub-central government public authority, has awarded a contract titled "W718 - Diversion of BT Openreach cables," concerning the diversion of cables at a housing development site on Talbot Street. The procurement falls under the works industry category, specifically construction work (CPV: 45000000). The contract was initiated as a direct procurement method, without competition, and is now complete. The contract was signed on 31st December 2025, and the project ran from 1st January 2026 until 31st March 2026. The location for the work is within the UK region, and the contract's total value is £30,000, with a net amount of £25,000.

This tender presented an opportunity for British Telecommunications Public Limited Company, a large-scale supplier, to leverage its capabilities in infrastructure and telecommunications services, generating revenue and strengthening its business portfolio. While procurement was direct and below threshold, companies that specialise in construction-related services or have experience in similar public sector projects might find growth opportunities by aligning themselves as valuable partners for future similar tenders. Such tenders typically benefit firms with established competence in executing public works with strategic importance, as demonstrated by BT's involvement.
