Providing services, works or goods for Derby Homes

We strive to ensure we are open, transparent and deliver best value in all purchases we make and services we buy. For that reason, where possible, all Derby Homes procurements are carried out electronically through the internet. This is done via the Delta eSourcing portal. This is a free service that suppliers and service providers can register with in order to bid for the opportunity to provide goods or services to Derby Homes.

Delta is used to issue and receive quotation and tender documents. All questions, comments and requests must be carried out through Delta’s messaging portal.

When registering your company with Delta you will be asked to enter the appropriate Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) codes for your company. CPV codes are a code that is given to each different type of work or services that could be required by Derby Homes.

Please ensure you choose all the CPV codes that apply to the types of work you do or services you provide. We will use these when searching for companies to invite to participate in procurements. The free BIP Solutions website allows you to search for your CPV code. This service is also free.

One-off purchases estimated to be less than £5,000

Where there is a requirement for a minor one-off purchase with a value of £5,000 or less, an authorised employee will obtain a quotation from a supplier or service provider known to provide the service or supply the items required. The supplier or service provider will be chosen at random.

Purchases estimated to be between £5,000 and £25,000

Where a purchase is estimated to cost between £5,000 and £25,000, a minimum of three suppliers or service providers will be chosen at random. The authorised employee will obtain competitive quotations from the service providers or suppliers known to provide the service or supply the items required.

Where possible we will use Delta to identify suppliers suitable for our projects, so please ensure that your CPV (Common Procurement Vocabulary) codes are accurate within your Delta eSourcing profile.

Purchases estimated to be over £25,000 but below EU threshold

For major purchases (those estimated to be over £25,000 but below the EU threshold) the authorised employee will follow the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. These opportunities will be advertised on Crown Commercial Services and Source Derbyshire websites.
