## Summary

Derbyshire County Council procured works to operate a dedicated satellite winter depot in Tibshelf, supporting the council’s gritting and highway winter service. The requirement covers secure on-site storage for gritting vehicles and salt, so critical winter-maintenance resources are ready for immediate use. It also includes welfare facilities for operational staff, including rest areas and washrooms, at the depot. The work is associated with highway, road and related infrastructure construction. Delivery is in the Tibshelf area of Derbyshire. This is a practical facilities and winter-service support requirement, suited to businesses able to manage a secure operational depot and provide or maintain the associated site and welfare arrangements for highway-service personnel.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Derbyshire County Council used a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. Peter Byard Plant Hire Limited was selected for the single lot, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 21 September 2026 and runs from 22 September 2026 to 21 September 2029. Its value is £83,160 excluding VAT, or £99,792 including VAT. The award concerns works classified under CPV 45230000, covering construction work for highways, roads and related infrastructure. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one contract for the Tibshelf satellite winter depot. The procurement was evaluated through the council’s direct-award route rather than a competitive tender.

This award shows that Derbyshire County Council buys local operational capacity to support winter highway maintenance, combining depot operation, secure storage for gritting vehicles and salt, and staff welfare provision. A future competitor would need credible capability in managing a dedicated depot, controlling access to stored plant and materials, and keeping operational resources ready for rapid deployment. Relevant experience in highways, winter maintenance, plant hire, depot management or supporting field-based maintenance teams would strengthen a bid. The requirement also favours suppliers able to provide suitable rest and washroom facilities for staff working operational shifts. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a smaller specialist business with practical plant, site-management and facilities capability can meet this type of council requirement.
