Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured apprenticeship training services for its requirements in the East Midlands. The scope covers Level 3 Business and Administration apprenticeships, with two places, and Level 3 Team Leader apprenticeships, also with two places. The requirement was described as four Apprenticeship Programmes and is a call-off from the YPO Apprenticeships 1086 framework. The work sits within education and training services, supporting the council’s apprenticeship provision rather than the supply of physical goods or construction works. Derby College Group was identified as the supplier. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are therefore providers able to deliver structured Level 3 apprenticeship programmes for learners in the East Midlands, particularly in business administration and team leadership.

This procurement is complete and was awarded on 23 April 2026 to Derby College Group. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a framework agreement. The tender deadline was 22 April 2026 at 23:59. The awarded value was £20,000. The contract runs from 24 April 2026 to 3 January 2028. The procurement was for services and the recorded suitability assessment marked it as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The award covered the apprenticeship provision described under the tender: Level 3 Business and Administration, with two places, and Level 3 Team Leader, with two places. Derby City Council is the buyer.

This award shows that Derby City Council uses a framework call-off to secure apprenticeship delivery and that its requirement can cover multiple Level 3 pathways within one procurement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide apprenticeship training in Business and Administration and Team Leader programmes, support the required learner places, and deliver across the East Midlands. The successful supplier was Derby College Group, recorded as a large organisation, while the procurement’s suitability assessment was not aimed at SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. Relevant providers should therefore be able to operate at sufficient organisational scale, manage more than one apprenticeship pathway, and deliver consistently for a public-sector buyer through the applicable apprenticeship framework route.
