## Summary

Derby City Council procured refurbishment and enabling works at Guildhall to prepare the site for refurbishment. The scope includes installing external scaffolding and stabilising the auditorium ceiling. This is a construction works requirement, classified under CPV 45453100 for refurbishment work. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the buyer based in Derby. The requirement would suit contractors able to undertake enabling works in an existing civic or public building, manage temporary access and protection measures, and carry out structural stabilisation to an auditorium ceiling. It is relevant to building contractors, refurbishment specialists and construction firms with experience coordinating preparatory works before a wider refurbishment programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Wates Construction Limited. Derby City Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender submission deadline was 1 June 2026 at 12:00. The award date was 1 June 2026, and the contract period runs from 3 June 2026 to 19 October 2027. The awarded contract value is £908,236 including the stated currency of GBP. The procurement was for works and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and Wates Construction Limited is the selected supplier. The published requirement concerns one overall scope rather than separately described lots.

For contractors that did not win this award, the procurement provides a clear indication of Derby City Council’s demand for planned enabling and refurbishment works at a civic venue. A credible future competitor would need to combine general building and refurbishment capability with practical delivery of external scaffolding, temporary works and structural stabilisation in a live or sensitive public-building environment. Experience preparing sites for larger refurbishment programmes would be relevant, particularly where access, protection, sequencing and coordination with subsequent trades are important. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs, so a suitably resourced smaller construction business could be well placed, either as a principal contractor or through a framework position. Familiarity with framework call-offs and public-sector construction delivery would also be commercially important.
