## Summary

Derby City Council has successfully completed the procurement process for the "W713 - Engineering and Inspection Services" contract.

The contract is active, spanning from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, with a gross value of £112,200. The contract was signed on 31 March 2026, marking the award stage of the procurement process.

Given the nature of the procurement, it offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in engineering and inspection services, particularly those providing statutory examinations and routine checks.

Companies that can provide comprehensive compliance solutions and have experience collaborating with sub-central government entities are well-positioned to compete in future rounds of similar procurements.
