Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council has successfully completed a procurement process titled "W812 - Large Coverings for the Central Island Units". This process, classified under the goods category, involved the direct procurement of large coverings for central island units and falls below the competitive threshold. Located in Derby, United Kingdom, this procurement is specifically intended for delivery within the UK's UKF11 region. The procurement process commenced under the legal basis of the UKPGA 2023/54, and the relevant contract was signed on 13 May 2026. The contract period spans from 12 June 2026 to 31 July 2026, with the total contract value reaching GBP 50,994.34. The process is now in the award stage, with the contract status marked as active.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses operating within the goods sector, particularly those specialising in the provision of large coverings or similar products. While the procurement method was direct and did not require competition, businesses that can offer similar products might find future opportunities with sub-central government authorities like Derby City Council. Suppliers who can navigate procurement processes within the UK public sector and have experience providing for regional authorities would be well-suited to pursue similar contracts. By engaging in such procurement activities, businesses, particularly SMEs, can leverage these opportunities to expand their footprint within government contracts. A&E Leisure Limited, an SME, successfully secured this contract, demonstrating the potential for smaller enterprises to thrive in this domain.
