Summary of the contracting process

Derby Homes Limited procured scaffolding erection and dismantling services for its housing operations in Derby. The requirement covers ordering scaffolding, delivery, erection, dismantling and removal, site inspections, and handover. It is classified as scaffolding (CPV 44212310) and is described as a supply of scaffolding services and associated works. The procurement was made through the Efficiency East Midlands EEM0051 Scaffolding Framework, which provides the route for appointing a specialist provider. The work is for activity covered by Derby Homes and its sites in Derby, rather than for a general regional supply arrangement. The selected supplier is based in Nottingham and is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise.

This procurement has been awarded and the contracts are active. Derby Homes used a limited procedure without a prior call for competition, awarding directly from the EEM0051 framework after a desktop analysis; six bids were recorded. The requirement was evaluated on quality questions weighted at 40% and price at 60%. R.A.U.K. Scaffolding Limited was selected. Two recorded contracts, both signed on 1 October 2023, have values of £3,000,000 and £4,500,000 respectively. The contract period is 1 October 2023 to 30 September 2028, described as 1,800 days. The £4,500,000 contract was later increased by £1,500,000, or 50%, because storm-damage roof costs and additional Derby Homes sites increased demand.

This award shows sustained demand from Derby Homes for a specialist scaffolding contractor able to manage the full operational cycle: ordering, delivery, erection, dismantling, removal, site inspection and handover. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capacity to support housing maintenance and responsive works across multiple sites, with reliable logistics and safe, well-controlled site operations. The framework route and desktop evaluation indicate that suppliers must be able to compete through an established procurement arrangement and present clear evidence against quality questions as well as price. The selected provider is an SME, showing that the requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable specialist business rather than only by a major national contractor.
