UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council bought flame-resistant personal protective equipment (PPE) kits for highways workers. The equipment is intended to protect workers from exposure to heat, flames and other thermal hazards during highways-related work. This is a goods requirement covering occupational clothing, special workwear and associated accessories. Delivery is within the United Kingdom. The council is a public authority based in Derby and is the organisation responsible for purchasing the equipment. The requirement concerns a single completed package of goods, rather than separate service or works activities. Businesses relevant to this procurement are manufacturers, distributors and specialist workwear suppliers able to provide flame-resistant PPE kits suitable for workers exposed to thermal hazards.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a below-threshold limited competition. Derby City Council awarded the contract to ARCO LIMITED, which holds the active award. The contract was signed on 4 June 2026 and runs from 8 June 2026 to 9 June 2026. Its value is £33,800 excluding VAT and £40,560 including VAT. The tender status is complete, and the contract status is active. The procurement used one lot, which was completed as part of the award. The published outcome identifies ARCO LIMITED as the supplier for the requirement. The procurement method was limited competition, rather than an open procedure, and the contract covers the supply of the highways flame-resistant PPE kits described above.

This outcome indicates demand from Derby City Council for specialist protective workwear for highways workers facing heat, flame and thermal hazards. Suppliers best placed to compete when this type of requirement returns will be those with a dependable range of flame-resistant PPE kits, occupational clothing and compatible accessories. Relevant capability includes understanding the protection required for workers exposed to thermal risks, matching products to practical highways work, and supplying complete kits rather than isolated garments. A credible competitor would also need the operational capacity to fulfil a council clothing order efficiently, maintain consistent product availability and provide clear product information for procurement evaluation. Specialist workwear manufacturers, established PPE distributors and suppliers with public-sector supply experience are therefore the closest commercial comparators.
