Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured the supply, delivery and installation of heavy catering equipment. The scope also covers commissioning and disposal where required, with product details set out through the procurement’s price schedule. Equipment may include catering machinery and electrical or non-electric domestic appliances. Delivery is predominantly to locations across Derbyshire, with some sites in neighbouring counties. End users include maintained schools and academies trading with the Council’s Catering Service, as well as Adult Social Care establishments such as care homes. The requirement is for equipment supplied to multiple public-sector establishments, with delivery and installation forming part of the service where specified.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. Derbyshire County Council selected Denby Catering Equipment Limited through a competitive award under a framework, using a selective procedure. The award was made on 21 August 2026; the contract was signed on 19 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £72 million gross. The initial contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 31 August 2028, with provision for up to two further two-year extensions, giving a maximum term of six years and an end date no later than 31 August 2032. The procurement was divided into one lot. The recorded performance measures include timely delivery and installation, replacement of faulty or damaged products within 48 hours, installation quality, and acknowledgement of support requests within 24 hours.

The award shows that Derbyshire County Council buys heavy catering equipment for schools, academies and adult social care sites across Derbyshire and neighbouring counties, including delivery and, where required, commissioning, installation and disposal. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to source a broad range of heavy catering products and domestic appliances, coordinate deliveries to multiple establishments, and provide reliable installation and commissioning capability. The buyer’s performance measures point to the importance of maintaining stock availability, meeting required delivery times, replacing faulty or damaged products within 48 hours, completing installations without remedial work, and responding promptly to support requests. Suppliers with the capacity to manage dispersed public-sector customers and provide responsive after-sales support would be well placed to compete when this type of requirement next comes to market.
