This procurement process was conducted as an open procedure, classified under the construction work industry (CPV code: 45000000), with a total contract value of £799,576. The ongoing notice describes that the awarded supplier is QTS Group, a large-scale engineering firm. The tender addressed the need for urgent highway infrastructure repairs along a crucial route in Derbyshire, previously marked by structural issues necessitating government-supported solutions. The tender stage is complete, with the contract period commencing on 27 March 2025, running until 26 March 2026, and the awarded contract effective from 10 January 2025. The project is to be executed under NEC4 Engineering and Construction Contract Option A (Lump Sum). This contract offers substantial opportunities for businesses in the construction and infrastructure sectors, particularly those experienced with highway engineering and maintenance. It presents potential growth for companies focusing on civil and structural engineering work, as well as those equipped to deliver complex, large-scale projects. Moreover, businesses well-versed with the operational nuances of public tenders and the NEC4 suite will be advantageously positioned. While the contract primarily favours larger enterprises, it supports engagement with voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), marking a collaborative growth opportunity across sectors. ## 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/5cd7d684-dbd3-440d-a2c4-11f52a610121 | | 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 | 28 Oct 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 10 Jan 2025 | | Contract period | 27 Mar 2025 - 26 Mar 2026 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £799,576 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £600,000 | | 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 09:00 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5cd7d684-dbd3-440d-a2c4-11f52a610121 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/5cd7d684-dbd3-440d-a2c4-11f52a610121 23rd April 2025 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=fc6f3253-807a-ef11-812f-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - http://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
