UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council purchased large coverings for its central island units. The goods are classified as umbrellas and are intended for delivery in Derby. This is a goods requirement for a specific council asset or operational setting, rather than a general construction, maintenance or professional services contract. The buyer is Derby City Council, based at the Council House in Derby. Suppliers relevant to this requirement would be businesses that manufacture, supply or distribute large outdoor coverings or commercial umbrellas, with the ability to provide products suitable for central island units and arrange delivery within Derby. The awarded supplier, A & E Leisure Limited, is based in Reading and operates as an SME.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. Derby City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. One lot was completed and awarded to A & E Leisure Limited. The contract was signed on 13 May 2026 and runs from 12 June 2026 to 31 July 2026. Its value is £42,495.28 excluding VAT, or £50,994.34 including VAT. The contract is recorded as active. The award covers the supply of large coverings classified as umbrellas for the central island units. This outcome indicates a relatively short, specific purchase rather than a long-term service arrangement, with a single supplier selected for the requirement.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement from Derby City Council for large commercial coverings or umbrellas serving central island units, at a scale suited to an established specialist supplier or capable SME. A credible future competitor would need to source or manufacture large coverings, understand the practical requirements of installing or supplying them for council-operated units, and provide products appropriate for outdoor or public-facing use. Reliable fulfilment and delivery to Derby would be important, as would the ability to handle a focused order within a short operational timescale. Businesses supplying commercial umbrellas, bespoke coverings or related outdoor equipment can use this award as evidence of the buyer’s purchasing pattern and likely product expectations.
