Summary of the contracting process

South Derbyshire District Council procured interim staffing services for a Repairs Manager within its Housing service. The requirement was for the supply of business services to support the council with an interim manager responsible for repairs-related activity. This is a professional interim-management and public-sector housing services opportunity, rather than a works contract for carrying out repairs directly. The buying organisation is South Derbyshire District Council, based at the Civic Offices in Swadlincote. The procurement is associated with the council’s housing and community amenities responsibilities. The service was structured around one requirement for an interim Repairs Manager. The requirement therefore suits recruitment, interim-management or specialist business-services providers able to supply an appropriately capable manager for a council housing environment.

The procurement has reached completion and an award was made through a limited procedure as a framework call-off, without prior publication of a call for competition. Macildowie was the selected supplier, with one bid received, submitted electronically; the bid was from an SME. The contract is active, valued at £38,000 including the stated contract value, and was signed on 26 June 2026. The procurement record identifies price as the evaluation basis. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, while the associated award and contract are recorded as active. The award record does not state an award date or contract duration. The procedure was treated as outside the scope of the relevant directive and used a framework call-off route.

This procurement demonstrates demand from South Derbyshire District Council for an externally supplied interim Repairs Manager within its Housing service. A competitor targeting similar future requirements would need to provide interim staffing or specialist business services, with access to managers capable of taking responsibility for housing repairs functions in a local-authority setting. The requirement is most relevant to recruitment firms, interim-management providers and public-sector housing specialists rather than contractors whose main service is physical repair work. Macildowie was identified as an SME supplier, showing that the requirement was suitable for a smaller provider. Credibility would depend on presenting a clearly deployable manager, understanding council housing operations and demonstrating the ability to provide focused interim management through a framework call-off route.
