Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured services to provide a Level 3 Business Administrator apprenticeship and associated training. The requirement falls within education and training services and is intended for delivery in England. The programme is part of the council’s non-framework apprenticeship and associated training requirement. It covers the provision of apprenticeship training for business administration learners, rather than the supply of goods or construction works. Businesses operating as apprenticeship providers, further education organisations, professional education companies or specialist vocational training providers may find the requirement relevant. The council is based at County Hall in Matlock and is the organisation responsible for purchasing the service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award. The contract was awarded to BPP Professional Education on 9 September 2026 for £35,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 March 2028. The tender submission deadline was 8 September 2026 at 23:59, before the award decision. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement for education and training, with the opportunity identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. BPP Professional Education is the selected supplier. The award is active, and the contract covers the full apprenticeship and associated training requirement described for Derbyshire County Council.

For a supplier assessing future demand from Derbyshire County Council, this award demonstrates a defined need for delivery of Level 3 Business Administrator apprenticeships and related training. A credible competitor would need the capability to deliver structured apprenticeship learning, support learners through the relevant business administration standard, and provide associated training services across England. It would also need sufficient teaching, assessment, learner-support and programme-management capacity to serve the council’s requirement over a substantial delivery period. Experience in vocational education and training, reliable administration of apprenticeships, and the ability to work with a public-sector client would strengthen a future response. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs, so specialist apprenticeship providers may be able to compete effectively with larger education companies.
