A borough council spending £57 million through 6,000 transactions
Erewash is a non-metropolitan district in Derbyshire with a population of around 115,000 spread across 42.5 square miles. It is a borough council, not a county, so the services it buys are focused on housing, planning, leisure, waste collection and environmental health rather than education or social care. Our data covers £57.2 million in recorded spend across 6,000 transactions, drawn from 15 source files spanning 2020 to 2026. That works out to a rough average of just under £10,000 per transaction, which tells you the spend profile skews toward regular operational purchasing rather than large capital projects. The data is sourced from the council's own transparency pages, Procontract, and Find a Tender. We have matched 421 suppliers to Companies House records across those transactions. For a district council of this size, the transaction volume gives you a decent picture of day-to-day buying patterns.
Admin services dominate, but no single supplier owns this market
Administrative and support services account for 27.7% of the matched spend, and the top two suppliers both sit in that sector. Extra Personnel Limited leads with £1.7 million, which looks like a staffing agency relationship. Parkwood Leisure follows at £952,000, and a related entity, Parkwood Project Management, appears separately at £439,000. Between those two Parkwood companies, that is close to £1.4 million. Energy supply is the second largest sector at 10.1%, split between E.ON Energy Solutions (£872,000) and TotalEnergies Gas & Power (£437,000). Browne Jacobson, a well-known local government law firm, sits fourth at £847,000. Overall concentration is low, with an HHI of 412. The top five suppliers account for 38.3% of spend and the top ten for 54.4%. Across 414 identified suppliers, the spending is spread fairly wide. If you are looking at this council, there is clearly room for new entrants based on what the data shows.
Where are all the contracts?
Here is what stands out about Erewash's procurement data: the council has 22 tenders on record worth a combined £12.9 million, but our dataset holds just one published contract valued at £29,000, awarded directly. That single contract sits below threshold. The tender pipeline tells a different story from the contracts register. Those 22 tenders represent a reasonable flow of formal procurement activity through Procontract and Find a Tender. The gap between tender activity and published contracts is common among smaller district councils, where contract registers are sometimes less consistently maintained. For bid managers, the tender data is probably the more useful signal here. At £12.9 million across 22 opportunities, the average tender sits around £586,000, which is a very different scale from the median contract value of £29,000. The tenders suggest Erewash does run competitive processes for larger pieces of work, even if the contracts register does not yet reflect that fully.
