Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured plant and equipment for a new plant room upgrade. The requirement is classified as goods and covers miscellaneous equipment, including the equipment needed to establish or improve plant-room facilities. Delivery is in the East Midlands, supporting the council’s services in Derbyshire. The buying organisation is Derbyshire County Council, a sub-central public authority based at County Hall in Matlock. This opportunity is relevant to businesses that supply plant-room equipment, mechanical or building-services equipment, and associated commercial goods. It is less relevant to firms offering only installation, construction or professional consultancy, since the recorded requirement is for the supply of plant and equipment rather than works or advisory services. The procurement comprised one completed requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Derbyshire County Council used a below-threshold procurement route; the recorded method detail is “below threshold - unknown”. The contract was signed on 31 July 2026 and runs from 21 August 2026 to 28 August 2026. The awarded supplier is THE BSS GROUP LIMITED. The award covers the single lot and has an awarded contract value of £28,532.86 excluding VAT, or £34,239.43 including VAT. The award is active and the contract is active. The recorded procurement category is goods. The available outcome information identifies the selected supplier and contract value, but does not set out an evaluation weighting or separate award criteria. The requirement was below the applicable threshold.

This procurement shows Derbyshire County Council’s demand for a defined, short-duration supply of plant-room equipment rather than a broad construction package. A credible future competitor would need established capability to source, supply and deliver miscellaneous plant and equipment for public-sector facilities, with reliable fulfilment across Derbyshire and the wider East Midlands. The selected supplier was a large business, indicating that proven supply-chain capacity and the ability to handle a council requirement at this scale may be important. Relevant firms are likely to be merchants, distributors or specialist suppliers of mechanical, engineering or building-services equipment with dependable logistics and product knowledge. Businesses seeking similar work should be able to identify suitable equipment clearly, meet council purchasing requirements and provide consistent delivery performance for plant-room projects.
