Derbyshire County Council: which contracts run out next, and who holds them.
Derbyshire County Council is a county council in the West Midlands. We hold 2,951 of its award notices, and 170 contracts due to end within 18 months. Everything here comes from public records: award notices the council itself published, and the papers it publishes before each committee meeting.
Data updated: 20 September 2026 (committee papers) | 18 September 2026 (award notices)
GovLeads reads Derbyshire County Council's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 2,033 of those 2,951 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.

Biggest suppliers
Ranked by total awarded value across every Derbyshire County Council award notice we hold. Values on multi-supplier frameworks are shared across the suppliers named on them, so a place on a large framework does not inflate a single firm.

|---|---|---|
| Jacobs U.K. Limited | £80.5m | 5 |
| Comensura | £75.0m | 2 |
| Holdsworth | £63.6m | 2 |
| Derbyshire Healthcare NHS FT | £53.0m | 1 |
| EDF Energy Customers Limited | £40.0m | 1 |
Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards Derbyshire County Council has notified in the last year. Awards sharing a title and end date are collapsed into a single row, so a framework or dynamic purchasing system appears once rather than once per supplier.

How the money is awarded
72% of Derbyshire County Council's awarded value went through open competition and 7% was awarded directly. A further 21% sits on notices that do not state a route at all. Directly awarded work is the part of the market that never reaches a competitive notice, so it is the part you have to see coming upstream.
- Competed 72% (£1.1bn)
- Other/Unspecified 21% (£304m)
- Direct 7% (£102m)
- Framework/DPS under 1% (£2.2m)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Derbyshire County Council, of those with an end date inside 18 months. A re-procurement decision normally reaches a committee months before the contract itself runs out, which is the point at which scope is still moveable, so the months-left column matters as much as the value.
| Ends | Months left | Contract | Supplier | Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 26 Mar 2027 | 6 | CST005 Supply of Temporary Agency Workers | Comensura Ltd | £62.0m |
| 1 Oct 2027 | 12 | PTU221 (ETE7566) Local Bus Tenders8 award notices, shown once | framework, 8 suppliers | £19.1m |
| 31 Aug 2027 | 11 | PLACE131 Design, Supply, Installation and Maintenance of Intelligent Transport Systems | Swarco UK & Ireland Ltd (Formally Dynniq UK Ltd) | £17.2m |

Procurement radar
Committee papers Derbyshire County Council published in the last four months whose title uses the language of buying.
No procurement decision reached a committee here in the last four months. Derbyshire County Council published 263 papers in that window and none of them is titled as a tender, an award, an extension or a waiver.
That is common and it is not a gap in our reading: most councils delegate day-to-day buying to officers, and only the larger decisions reach a committee with a paper to their name. The award notices above are the fuller record of what this council actually buys.

Where Derbyshire County Council spends most
The service areas taking the largest share of awarded value here. Each one has its own page explaining what we watch for.
Where this comes from
Awards, suppliers and expiry dates come from award notices published to Contracts Finder and Find a Tender by Derbyshire. The award data set was last refreshed on 18 September 2026, so notices published since then are not yet counted here. Values are as notified; where a notice names several suppliers, the value is shared across them.
Committee papers and meeting dates come from Derbyshire County Council's own published papers, at https://democracy.derbyshire.gov.uk. Every paper linked above is on the council's own site. Committee-paper figures were extracted on 20 September 2026.
What we leave out. A notice naming more than one buying authority is excluded, because it does not say how the value splits between them. So are notices from bodies that share this council's name but are separate organisations, such as the local college or NHS trust. Both would otherwise be counted here as Derbyshire's.
Nothing on this page is modelled, estimated or inferred. Every number is a count or a sum over those two public sources. Where a figure would be a guess, it is left out.
