Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council commissioned apprenticeship and associated training services for a Level 6 Civil Engineer apprenticeship. The requirement sits within education and training services and is intended to develop civil engineering capability through an apprenticeship programme rather than procure construction works directly. Delivery is across England. The council is the buying organisation, based at County Hall in Matlock. The requirement was described as a non-council framework procurement for apprenticeship and associated training, linked to the wider Apprenticeship & Associated Training arrangement. Businesses relevant to this requirement include universities, higher education providers, apprenticeship training organisations and specialist civil engineering education providers able to support Level 6 learners and their associated training needs.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a direct award. The contract was awarded to University of Derby – Research & Knowledge Exchange on 28 July 2026, for £27,000. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2031. The tender submission deadline was 27 July 2026 at 11:59pm. One supplier was selected. The requirement was classified as a services procurement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award concerns the provision of apprenticeships for Civil Engineer Level 6 and associated training, with the selected supplier responsible for delivering the contracted education and training service to meet the council’s requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined demand from Derbyshire County Council for structured Level 6 civil engineering apprenticeship provision and associated training. A credible future competitor would need the teaching, assessment and learner-support capability to deliver a higher-level civil engineering apprenticeship, together with the systems needed to manage apprenticeship training for a public sector client. Relevant providers include universities, colleges, specialist apprenticeship organisations and civil engineering training businesses with suitable academic and technical expertise. The requirement was considered suitable for SMEs, so smaller providers with a focused civil engineering offer may be able to compete when comparable requirements return. Experience of public sector delivery, quality assurance, learner progression and employer liaison would strengthen a provider’s position.
