The procurement, categorised under the "Construction work" industry, was carried out using an open procedure. The awarding process was completed on 10th December 2024, with the contract taking effect from 16th April 2025 and scheduled to end by 15th April 2026. This major construction initiative is strategically located in the UK, focusing on a prominent arterial route through Derbyshire, covered under NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract. The project is valued at £997,971 GBP. This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses involved in substantial construction operations, particularly those specialising in infrastructure and highway maintenance. The winning supplier, QTS Group, exemplifies the scale and expertise suitable for such projects. Organisations with experience in large-scale engineering works within the UK's public sector setting may find opportunities in similar tenders. Although this specific project has targeted less towards SMEs, it emphasises the role of larger entities, yet remains open to VCSE participation, potentially enriching the scope for socially responsive enterprises looking to expand their portfolio within civic engineering projects. ## Notice Derbyshire County Council (DCC) are responsible for maintaining the highways within the County of Derbyshire. The A6 is the main arterial route through the County from Greater Manchester through the Peak District National Park and the Derwent Valley Mills World Heritage Site into the City of Derby. Ongoing management of the A6 highway has identified the need for retaining wall repairs. Government funding aided investigations for repair solutions. DCC is seeking bids for the repair Works. Tenderers should note that this procurement process has been separated into Lots as detailed below (each a "Works package"). DCC has a limited budget for the Works within each Lot and it is therefore the case that DCC may not be able to award some or all of the Lots and/or may not be able to commence Works under some or all of the Lots. If a Lot is awarded to a Provider, it may be the case that DCC cannot commence the Works under that Lot. It might also be the case that DCC has to terminate a Lot once Works have commenced. DCC will keep awarded Providers up to date in this respect. Please be aware Works will be issued under the NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract Option A Lump Sum. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7c30b6c-d0f8-4740-b148-dc210636a589 | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Works | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 23 Apr 2025 | | Submission deadline | 19 Aug 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Dec 2024 | | Contract period | 15 Apr 2025 - 15 Apr 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £997,971 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £997,971 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DERBYSHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL | | Locality | MATLOCK | | Post town | Derby | | Postcode | DE4 3AG | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLF East Midlands (England) | | ITL 2 | TLF1 Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire | | ITL 3 | TLF13 South and West Derbyshire | | Local authority | Derbyshire Dales | | Electoral ward | Matlock West | | Westminster constituency | Derbyshire Dales | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | QTS GROUP | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 45 - Construction work ### Codes - 45000000 - Construction work ## Release History - 23 Apr 2025 at 08:19 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7c30b6c-d0f8-4740-b148-dc210636a589 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e7c30b6c-d0f8-4740-b148-dc210636a589 23rd April 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=a36d7bf7-4044-ef11-812d-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
