Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured a Level 6 Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship and associated training. The requirement is for education and training services, delivered in England. The apprenticeship is intended to provide degree-level management training through an established apprenticeship route. The procurement is described as using a non-Derbyshire County Council framework for apprenticeship and associated training, identified as the YPO framework. This requirement is relevant to universities and apprenticeship training providers able to deliver a Chartered Manager programme at Level 6 and support its associated training. The award names Staffordshire University as the provider. The buying organisation is Derbyshire County Council, based in Matlock.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Staffordshire University. Derbyshire County Council used a direct award, drawing on the YPO apprenticeship and associated training framework. The award date was 28 September 2026. The awarded value is £44,000. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2030. The tender was classified as a services procurement, and the stated estimated value was also £44,000. The tender submission deadline was 27 September 2026. The published information does not set out separate lots or evaluation criteria, so the stated outcome is the direct award to Staffordshire University. Small and medium-sized enterprises were considered suitable for this requirement; voluntary, community and social enterprises were not.

This award demonstrates demand from Derbyshire County Council for a Level 6 Chartered Manager degree apprenticeship with associated training, delivered through the YPO framework. A credible future competitor would need to provide a degree-level Chartered Manager apprenticeship and the supporting training, with capacity to sustain delivery over a multi-year contract. The selection of Staffordshire University indicates that a university-based provider can meet the requirement, while the stated suitability for SMEs means smaller training businesses may also be relevant if they can deliver the full programme. Providers should assess whether their apprenticeship offer, training delivery capability and framework access match this specific requirement. The opportunity is evidence for apprenticeship and higher-education providers focused on management training, rather than a general requirement for unrelated training services.
