The arrangement will be organised around geographical coverage and standardised labour categories, allowing the council to source different types of labour through a consistent structure. The work covers Derbyshire and the surrounding areas represented by Derby, Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire locations. This is a public-sector services procurement led by Derbyshire County Council, based in Matlock. Suppliers operating in temporary staffing, recruitment, workforce supply or personnel provision may find the scope relevant, particularly where they can support public-sector labour requirements across multiple local areas. The procurement is at the planning stage and the council has expressed an intention to use a framework agreement. It is expected to comprise one geographical lot, suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The estimated gross value is £6,240,000 including tax. The anticipated contract period is 1 December 2026 to 30 November 2027, with the possibility of renewal or extension until 30 November 2030. The council has planned preliminary market engagement: expressions of interest and clarification questions are expected by 15 September 2026 through its electronic procurement portal. This is an engagement exercise rather than an invitation to tender, and the procurement arrangements may be developed before the framework reaches the market. The process is likely to suit established recruitment agencies, temporary labour providers and workforce solutions businesses able to supply personnel across Derbyshire and neighbouring areas. Suppliers should be prepared to map their services to standardised labour categories and operate within a framework arrangement, which may require reliable systems for presenting candidate availability, managing placements and meeting public-sector administration requirements. Regional coverage and the capacity to respond consistently across the single geographical lot will be important. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly considered suitable, so participation should not be limited to large national providers. Businesses can use the engagement stage to explain their delivery model, geographic reach, labour categories and practical requirements for supplying the council. ## Notice Supply of Regional Labour Supply Framework, structured around geographical lots and standardised labour categories ### Planning Information Expressions of interest and clarification questions to be submitted via Proactis eportal https://procontract.due-north.com/ProjectManagement/ProjectDashboard?projectId=ff5941a6-62a0-f111-813c-005056b64545 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080890-2026 | | Notice type | UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 25 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 15 Sep 2026 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Dec 2026 - 30 Nov 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £6,240,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Planning | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Derbyshire County Council | | Locality | MATLOCK | | Postcode area | 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 | TLF11 Derby, TLF12 East Derbyshire, TLF13 South and West Derbyshire | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security ### Codes - 79620000 - Supply services of personnel including temporary staff ## Release History - 25 Aug 2026 at 14:32 - PlanningUpdate - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080890-2026 - 25 Aug 2026 at 14:30 - Planning - UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080887-2026 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080890-2026 25th August 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/080887-2026 25th August 2026 - Preliminary market engagement notice on Find a Tender ## Notice URLs - https://procontract.due-north.com/ProjectManagement/ProjectDashboard?projectId=ff5941a6-62a0-f111-813c-005056b64545 - https://www.derbyshire.gov.uk/home.aspx - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
