What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThe purpose of the preliminary Market Engagement is to undertake a structured approach to identify the optimal route, for the Councils to obtain the most economically advantageous outcome, from the disposal of the Derby and Derbyshire Waste Treatment Centre (DDWTC).
The Councils are seeking to engage with economic operators that would be interested in the:
Sale of valuable equipment (individual items or grouped lots)
- Removal of all equipment except essential services
- Full or Partial demolition and making good of the site
- Sale of the site “as is” or with the facility removed
Economic operators that wish to engage with the Councils will be invited to complete a preliminary market engagement questionnaire which the Councils will then consider. The Councils may thereafter instruct their Advisors to engage directly with organisations that they consider are best placed to help inform the Councils approach to disposal of the DDWTC.
For the purposes of the sale of the “site as is or with the facility removed”, the Council’s Advisors are Avison Young UK and Salloway Property Consultants for all other disposal routes the Councils advisors are Stantec UK Ltd.
Estimated value: £0.00
The Council is currently unable to determine the contract value because the preferred disposal and delivery route has not yet been agreed.
Additional information:
The duration stated is indicative only and is based on the Council's current programme assumptions. The final contract duration will depend on the delivery model selected, scope of works, procurement strategy and approvals process.
All initial enquiries and subsequent questionnaires should be submitted to [email protected] marked DDWTC Disposal and include the reference TD2468. - The deadline for engagement is 12:00 Noon 30th November 2026

How Derby City Council buys Building demolition and wrecking work and earthmoving work (CPV 4511), and who usually turns up
Derby City Council’s published record next to the market for the same work. Frameworks and DPS are left out: they draw different bid counts. Whole-market view: Building demolition and wrecking work and earthmoving work (CPV 4511) →
How the contest usually goes
Winner shares use published awards; bid and price charts use contested lots.
i
The counts under this question show how many awards have a known supplier size.
Small firms have won here. Neither number says whether you qualify; it describes who has been winning.
i
Local means the winner is registered in the region where that award was delivered. The market figure counts awards delivered in East Midlands (authority’s region).
Most of this buyer’s recorded winners were registered outside the region where that award was delivered.
i
Half of these awards have an award date within 37 days of the bid deadline.
i
Both shares are minimums: some awards have no bid count.
Direct awards or one recorded bid are common here. Check the route before spending time on a bid.

About this data
- Estimates, labelled. The price range, possible competitors and earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards, not published facts, win chances or price advice. The buyer’s own record and the wider market are shown apart, never mixed.
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender and Contracts Finder), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0, updated through the day and rebuilt nightly. Not every figure uses both feeds, and each one shows how many records it rests on: see the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
