UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council is seeking one contractor for natural flood management works in Breadsall. The requirement covers engaging with landowners, maintaining relationships already established with them, securing permission for natural flood management measures on their land, and designing and implementing the agreed measures at designated locations. This is civil engineering and construction work, including the delivery of practical measures intended to manage flood risk. The work will be carried out in Breadsall, within Derbyshire. The contractor will need to combine landowner engagement and permissions work with the technical design and physical implementation of measures, rather than providing construction alone. The opportunity is therefore relevant to firms able to manage both stakeholder relationships and natural flood management delivery.

The procurement has reached tender: Derbyshire County Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries were due by 25 September 2026 at 12:00, and bids were due by 5 October 2026 at 11:00. The contract is planned to run from 2 November 2026 to 1 November 2028, for approximately 24 months. One contractor will be appointed. The estimated value is £85,000 excluding VAT, or £102,000 including VAT. Bids may be submitted electronically after registering interest and accessing the tender documents through the council’s tendering portal. The contract will be awarded to the most advantageous tender, assessed on price at 60%, quality at 30% and social value at 10%. Additional measures may be commissioned if budget remains.

This opportunity suits an SME or voluntary, community or social enterprise with experience in natural flood management, civil engineering or related environmental construction. Strong candidates will be able to build and maintain effective relationships with landowners, obtain permissions, translate agreed requirements into workable designs and deliver measures at specified locations. The requirement calls for a single contractor able to coordinate engagement, design and implementation, so firms with an integrated project team and practical site-delivery capability are well placed. Evidence of good-quality technical work, reliable project management and meaningful social value commitments will matter because quality and social value together account for 40% of the evaluation. The council may also commission further measures where funding allows, favouring suppliers with adaptable delivery capacity.
