UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council commissioned building works at Unstone Junior School. The requirement covers removal and disposal of existing ceilings across 260 square metres, followed by installation of fire-rated plasterboard and skim finishes. The works also include protecting floors, disposing of waste, and removing electrical fixtures and fittings before or during the ceiling replacement. This is a construction and refurbishment requirement, classified under CPV 45000000, with delivery in Derbyshire. The council is the public-sector buyer. The scope would suit a building contractor able to manage internal refurbishment works in an occupied or operational school environment, including coordination of ceiling, waste-disposal and electrical-removal activities. The single procurement lot covers the full package of works rather than separate specialist requirements.

The procurement has completed and the contract was awarded to David R Cooper Building Contractors. The below-threshold procedure was recorded with the method described as unknown. The award was made on 16 July 2026 and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 20 July 2026 to 7 September 2026. Its value is £36,995 excluding VAT and £44,394 including VAT. One supplier was selected for the single lot, which is marked complete, while the award and contract are active. The published outcome identifies the requirement as works and relates the award to the full ceiling-removal and replacement package. The process was evaluated through the procurement route used by the council for this below-threshold requirement.

This outcome provides a useful benchmark for contractors targeting Derbyshire County Council’s building-maintenance requirements. A credible competitor would need practical experience removing existing ceilings and disposing of waste, installing fire-rated plasterboard, and delivering a sound skim finish. The requirement also favours firms that can protect finished floors, remove electrical fixtures and fittings safely, and coordinate these activities as one controlled refurbishment package. Capacity to deliver 260 square metres of ceiling work within a short school-building programme would be important, alongside reliable site management and the ability to work to public-sector safety, quality and handover expectations. The selected supplier was an SME, indicating that this scale and type of council building work can be delivered by a smaller specialist or general building contractor with the relevant in-house skills and operational capacity.
