UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council bought specialist vehicle body repair, fabrication and vehicle build services for its operational fleet. The work covers repairing and refurbishing vehicle bodies, modifying them, and manufacturing specialist bodies and associated equipment. This is a vehicle engineering and fleet maintenance requirement, rather than general vehicle servicing. The contract serves the council’s fleet in the United Kingdom; the procurement does not identify a more specific delivery location. The scope combines ongoing repair and refurbishment with bespoke fabrication, modification and build work, making it relevant to suppliers able to support operational vehicles as well as produce or adapt specialist bodywork and equipment.

The procurement is complete and a supplier has been selected. Derby City Council used a below-threshold limited competition, with one lot. Davenport Brothers Limited was awarded the contract, which was signed on 30 September 2026. The contract runs from 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2029, with two possible 12-month renewals and a maximum extent to 1 October 2031. Its value is £60,000 excluding VAT (£72,000 including VAT). The award record does not set out evaluation criteria, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be described further.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future requirement, the award demonstrates demand for a combined vehicle body repair, fabrication and build service for a local authority operational fleet. A credible competitor would need practical capability across repair and refurbishment, vehicle modifications, specialist body manufacture and associated equipment, rather than strength in only routine servicing. The work is suited to a provider able to handle varied fleet needs through one service, including both restoring existing vehicle bodies and delivering bespoke build or fabrication tasks. The selected supplier is recorded as a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME; it does not establish that a particular business size or accreditation is necessary.
