TD2468 - Soft Market Test: the disposal of the Derby and Derbyshire Waste Treatment Centre (DDWTC).

The 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
