UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured grounds maintenance works at Nottingham Road Cemetery in Derby, covering the cemetery’s requirements for the 2026 growing season. The work is classified as cemetery works and concerns the upkeep and maintenance of cemetery grounds rather than construction of a new facility. Derby City Council is the public-sector buyer and the delivery location is Nottingham Road Cemetery, Derby. The awarded supplier is idverde Limited, a large grounds maintenance business based in Coventry. This requirement is relevant to contractors providing cemetery grounds maintenance, horticultural upkeep and related outdoor estate services for local authorities. Suppliers whose work is limited to general construction, office-based services or unrelated facilities management are less closely aligned with the requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold direct award without competition. idverde Limited was selected for the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 2 August 2026. The contract runs from 3 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. Its value is £99,527 excluding VAT, or £119,432.40 including VAT. The contract covers the 2026 growing season at Nottingham Road Cemetery. The procurement used a direct method rather than an open tender, so suppliers were not invited to compete for this award. The recorded evaluation route was therefore the buyer’s below-threshold, without-competition process, rather than a published price-and-quality competition.

This award shows that Derby City Council uses external suppliers for seasonal grounds maintenance at Nottingham Road Cemetery, with a requirement substantial enough to support a specialist contract. A credible future competitor would need demonstrable capability in cemetery grounds maintenance and the practical capacity to maintain an operational cemetery throughout a defined growing season. Relevant strengths would include reliable horticultural and outdoor maintenance teams, the ability to organise seasonal work across the contract period, and experience delivering grounds services for a public authority or comparable estate. Suppliers should also be able to handle the sensitivities of cemetery environments, maintaining grounds consistently and respectfully. idverde Limited’s selection indicates that an established, large-scale grounds maintenance provider is capable of meeting the buyer’s requirement.
