Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured education and training services for a Public Health Practitioner Integrated Degree Apprenticeship at Level 6. The requirement covers the provision of the apprenticeship and associated training, under a non-Derbyshire County Council framework arrangement. The work supports the development of a public health practitioner through degree-level apprenticeship delivery rather than the supply of goods or construction works. Delivery is across England. The buyer is Derbyshire County Council, based at County Hall, Matlock. The opportunity is relevant to universities, higher-education providers and specialist apprenticeship or professional training organisations able to deliver integrated degree-level public health education and the associated learner support.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct award. The tender deadline was 23 August 2026 at 11:59pm, and the award was made on 24 August 2026. University of Derby – Research & Knowledge Exchange was selected as supplier. The awarded value is £80,000 GBP. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029. The procurement is for services and was identified under CPV 80000000, education and training services. It was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The reported requirement is a single apprenticeship and associated training provision, evaluated through the direct-award route rather than an open competition.

For a competitor, this award benchmarks Derbyshire County Council’s demand for degree-level public health apprenticeship training and the type of provider it selected: a large university research and knowledge exchange organisation. A credible future supplier would need demonstrable capability in higher-education delivery, integrated apprenticeship design and public health practitioner development. It would also need to support learners through structured academic and workplace-based training, coordinate the associated apprenticeship requirements and work effectively with a local-authority employer. Organisations with established public health teaching expertise, appropriate degree-level provision, experienced academic and practitioner staff, and the operational capacity to manage apprenticeship learners would be best placed to compete when this requirement next reaches the market.
