Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured seven apprenticeship places delivered through two higher-education and vocational training programmes: two places for the Level 5 Children, Young People and Family Manager apprenticeship, and five places for the Level 4 Children, Young People and Families Practitioner apprenticeship. The requirement is for apprenticeship training services supporting people working with children, young people and families. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with Derby City Council as the buying organisation. This is a services requirement rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The programmes were intended to provide structured apprenticeship development at Levels 4 and 5, making the opportunity relevant to training providers, colleges and education organisations able to deliver these specific standards.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 16 July 2026. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from the Commercial Services Apprenticeship Provider Dynamic Marketplace Framework (RM6102), rather than an open standalone tender. The submission deadline was 15 July 2026 at 23:59. The awarded value was £42,000. Yorkshire Training Partnership Limited was selected as the supplier. The contract period runs from 17 July 2026 to 17 October 2028. The requirement was for seven places across the two named apprenticeship programmes. The procurement was not identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate award weighting or evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates demand from Derby City Council for specialist apprenticeship provision in children, young people and family services, at both practitioner and management levels. A credible future supplier would need to deliver the named Level 4 and Level 5 programmes, support a small cohort across different qualification levels, and provide training suited to employment in children, young people and family settings. Access to the relevant apprenticeship provider marketplace framework would be important, because this requirement was placed through a framework call-off rather than a standalone open competition. Providers with established apprenticeship administration, learner support, employer liaison and quality-assured delivery arrangements would be well placed when this buyer next reviews a comparable requirement.
