Chesterfield: contracts, suppliers and what is coming next.
Chesterfield is a district council in the East Midlands. We hold 171 of its award notices, and 22 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 Chesterfield's papers every weeknight. A value is published on 135 of those 171 award notices, so the total is a floor, not the council's spend.
Next committee meetings

Biggest suppliers
Ranked by total awarded value across every Chesterfield 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.
| Supplier | Awarded value | Awards |
|---|---|---|
| Harmony Fire Limited | £6.0m | 1 |
| Willmott Dixon Construction Ltd | £5.7m | 1 |
| Thomas Bow Limited | £5.7m | 2 |
| Northgate Vehicle Hire Limited | £5.2m | 2 |
| Car Hire (Day of Swansea) Limited t/a Days Fleet | £3.1m | 2 |
Largest awards of the last 12 months
The biggest awards Chesterfield 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.
| Award | Supplier | Value | Route |
|---|---|---|---|
| Supply and Installation of Fire Safety Product | Harmony Fire Limited | £6.0m | Restricted |
| Licensing Solution Provider | Softcat Plc | £1.3m | Framework call-off |
| Supply and Installation of Windows and Doors | Graham Holmes Astraseal Limited | £700,000 | Framework call-off |
| Electoral Printing and Software Services | Civica Uk Ltd | £494,500 | Framework call-off |
| Corporate Postal Services - 2nd Class Mail | Whistl UK Limited | £456,750 | Framework call-off |
How the money is awarded
39% of Chesterfield's awarded value went through open competition and 12% was awarded directly. 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.
- Framework/DPS 42% (£26.0m)
- Competed 39% (£24.5m)
- Direct 12% (£7.2m)
- Other/Unspecified 8% (£4.7m)
Contracts expiring within 18 months
The 5 largest by value on record for Chesterfield, 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 22 Jun 2027 | 9 | Provision of the Supply and Fitting of Kitchens and Bathrooms | RE:GEN Yorkshire & East Midlands Limited | £2.7m |
| 1 Feb 2027 | 4 | The provision of the Short-Term Hire of Corporate Fleet Vehicles | Northgate Vehicle Hire Limited | £2.6m |
| 30 Sep 2027 | 12 | NEC Go-Mobile and Housing Scheduler | NEC Software Solutions UK Limited | £1.4m |
| 20 Oct 2026 | under 1 | Repairs & Improvement Works to Void Social Housing Properties. | C.L.C Contractors Limited | £1.0m |
| 20 Feb 2027 | 5 | Supply of Energy - Electricity and Additional Services | EDF Energy Customers Limited | £750,000 |

Procurement radar
Committee papers Chesterfield 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. Chesterfield published 98 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 Chesterfield 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 Chesterfield. 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 Chesterfield's own published papers, at https://chesterfield.moderngov.co.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 Chesterfield'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.
