Derby City Council, in short
Who does Derby City Council award contracts to?
Across 1,281 contracts recorded since 2021, Derby City Council has used 776 different suppliers. The most frequent are Thomas Bow Limited (60 contracts), Whitehouse Construction Company Ltd (32 contracts), Teaching Personnel Limited (12 contracts).
What does Derby City Council buy?
Its most active procurement categories are health and social care, construction works, education and training. Categories are derived from the CPV codes published on each award notice.
When do Derby City Council contracts come up for renewal?
237 contracts awarded by Derby City Council have an end date within the next 18 months, the earliest on 9 Nov 2026. End dates come from the original award notices, so they are visible well before any re-tender is advertised.
How much does Derby City Council spend on contracts?
The median published contract value is £158k, across the 1,175 contracts that state a value. Published values are not added up here: a framework's value is a ceiling shared by every supplier on it, and the same value is often repeated across lots, so adding them up would overstate what is spent.
How can I be alerted to new Derby City Council tenders?
Tender Radar monitors Find a Tender, Contracts Finder, Public Contracts Scotland and Sell2Wales each weekday morning and can score every new Derby City Council notice against your organisation's profile, delivering the relevant ones before 9am alongside their contracts approaching renewal.

Same type of body, by the address on their own notices. Most published awards first.
How these figures are worked out
- The last 12 months: award notices published from 9 November 2025 to 8 November 2026, each contract counted once however many suppliers or rows it has. The same window is used everywhere on this page.
- Year on year: Its published contract awards were level, then rose in the last year. Contracts by publication date in the 12 months to 8 Nov 2026 and the two years before it, oldest first: 197, 223 and 407. A change of more than 15% counts as a rise or fall; each year needs at least 5 contracts.
- Most of its current contracts end in the next 12 months: 193 of its 369 contracts with an end date still to come end by 8 November 2027. Shown when that is more than half, with at least 5.
- Has published 6 planned procurements: Pipeline notices on Find a Tender whose expected tender date is still to come, or passed in the last 30 days.
- Has awarded contracts every year since 2021: At least one contract in every calendar year from 2021 to 2026, by award date (or publication date where the award date is later). Our records begin in 2021.
- Took on 180 new suppliers in the last 12 months: Suppliers named on a contract it awarded and published since 9 November 2025, and on none before. Counted by organisation, not by spelling.
- Most recent award: recorded 2 Nov 2026 (6 days ago).
- Values: value figures cover the 1,175 of 1,281 contracts where a value was published. Values are never added up: framework ceilings and values repeated across lots would make a total meaningless.
- Since 2021: totals count contracts by award date from January 2021, and suppliers by organisation rather than by spelling.
