Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured an Assistant Accountant Level 3 apprenticeship programme, specifically an AAT Level 3 apprenticeship. This is a vocational education and training service designed to develop an apprentice’s accounting skills and support them towards the Assistant Accountant occupational role. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the council as the buying organisation. The requirement was a service rather than goods or construction works, classified under secondary education services. The programme was called off from a Commercial Services Apprenticeship Provider Dynamic Marketplace Framework, so it was aimed at providers participating in that established purchasing arrangement rather than suppliers approaching the council through an unrestricted tender.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to EMA Training Limited on 19 June 2026. The award value was £12,000. The contract period runs from 22 June 2026 to 30 September 2027. The tender submission deadline was 19 June 2026 at 23:59. Derby City Council used a selective procedure and a call-off from a framework agreement, rather than an open competition. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The procurement was evaluated within the framework call-off process; the available record does not set out separate price, quality or technical weightings. The opportunity was categorised as a services contract and marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award shows demand from Derby City Council for externally delivered accounting apprenticeships, with a defined AAT Level 3 pathway and a substantial delivery period. Suppliers best placed for a future requirement would be established apprenticeship and vocational training providers with strong accounting provision, qualified teaching and assessment staff, and the systems needed to support an apprentice through the programme. Experience of delivering Assistant Accountant or comparable Level 3 standards would be directly relevant, as would the ability to manage learner support, progress monitoring and employer liaison across the East Midlands. Access to the council’s relevant apprenticeship provider marketplace or framework would also be important, since this requirement was sourced through that route rather than open tendering.
