## Summary

Derby City Council is engaged in a public procurement process titled "Acquisition of land and associated construction works relating to proposed Becketwell Venue, Colyear Street, Derby". This project falls under the construction industry category and is located in Derby, UK. The procurement method utilised is a limited procedure, specifically the award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, and it is currently at the Award stage. Key dates include the signing of the contract on 23 April 2021, with an active contract value of £45.8 million for the construction works, and a standstill period observed prior to the award.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in construction, especially those specialising in large-scale venue development and associated works. Companies such as demolition and construction firms, as well as those providing construction materials, would be well-positioned to compete, particularly if they have experience in projects requiring collaboration with public authorities and are familiar with the specific regulatory frameworks. Furthermore, subcontracting options may also provide additional pathways for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to participate in the project.
