Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council commissioned a Basic Asset Protection Agreement for the Hollis Lane Link Road demolition works. The agreement supports engagement with Network Rail for work alongside Network Rail lines, providing the rail-related protection and coordination needed for activity affecting railway assets. The procurement is categorised as services covering repair, maintenance and associated services for railways, roads and related equipment (CPV 50200000). The buying organisation is Derbyshire County Council, based in Matlock. Delivery covers England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The requirement is therefore relevant to businesses providing rail asset protection, railway interface management or associated safety and coordination services for infrastructure works.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Derbyshire County Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the Public Contracts Act 2023. The single lot was awarded to Network Rail Certification Body, an SME. The contract was signed and began on 15 June 2026, running until 30 April 2027. Its value is £40,000 excluding VAT and £48,000 including VAT. The awarded requirement is the Basic Asset Protection Agreement supporting work alongside Network Rail lines and enabling Network Rail engagement. The contracting route did not involve a competitive evaluation: the supplier was selected through a below-threshold direct award. The contract is active and covers the full requirement as one lot.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined market for rail asset protection agreements supporting road and demolition projects that interface with Network Rail infrastructure. A credible competitor for similar work would need practical capability in protecting railway assets, managing interfaces between construction activity and operational rail infrastructure, and securing effective engagement with Network Rail. Experience of working across England would be relevant, since this requirement covered national delivery rather than a single local site. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that the scale and delivery model can suit a specialist business rather than only a large contractor. Businesses with established rail-sector relationships, strong coordination processes and relevant infrastructure protection experience would be well placed when this buyer next requires comparable support.
