Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured apprenticeship training services for its workforce, covering Team Leader Level 3 and Operations Manager Level 5 programmes, with three places on each programme. The requirement was called off from the YPO Apprenticeships and Associated Training Framework. The procurement is classified as secondary education services, with an additional classification for higher education services. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the buying organisation based in Derby. The selected provider was The University of Derby. This opportunity is relevant to universities, colleges and specialist training providers able to deliver structured apprenticeship programmes at Levels 3 and 5, particularly for team leadership and operational management. It concerns training provision rather than construction, goods supply or general consultancy.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Bids closed on 29 June 2026 at 23:59. Derby City Council awarded the contract to The University of Derby on 30 June 2026 for £42,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The award contract period runs from 1 July 2026 to 1 July 2028, with the award record giving the end of day on 1 July 2028. The tender record gives the same overall contract value and identifies the main category as services. The procurement was not presented as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Derby City Council for employee apprenticeships in team leadership and operations management, delivered through the YPO Apprenticeships and Associated Training Framework. A credible future competitor would need to be an established apprenticeship or higher education provider with the academic, teaching and learner-support capability to deliver Level 3 Team Leader and Level 5 Operations Manager programmes. It would need capacity for small cohorts of three learners per programme, experience of managing apprenticeship delivery for a public-sector employer, and the ability to operate within a framework call-off route. Providers should be able to support delivery across the East Midlands, maintain appropriate programme quality and administration, and demonstrate sufficient organisational scale for a requirement that was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs or VCSEs.
