Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured seven procurement and supply apprenticeship places in the East Midlands. The requirement comprises four places on the Level 3 Procurement and Supply Assistant programme and three places on the Level 4 Procurement and Supply Chain Practitioner programme. The work is an apprenticeship training service, classified under CPV 80300000 for higher education services, rather than the supply of goods or construction works. The programmes are intended to develop procurement and supply-chain capability through structured apprenticeship provision. The buying organisation is Derby City Council, with delivery in the East Midlands. The procurement was made through the Commercial Services Apprenticeship Provider Dynamic Marketplace Framework (RM6102), so relevant businesses are apprenticeship and vocational training providers able to deliver procurement-focused programmes in this area.

This procurement is complete and was awarded to SR Supply Chain Consultants Ltd on 28 August 2026. The award value is £54,000. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. It was a selective call-off from a framework agreement, using the Commercial Services Apprenticeship Provider Dynamic Marketplace Framework (RM6102), rather than an open standalone tender. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 23:59. Derby City Council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award covers seven places: four Level 3 Procurement and Supply Assistant apprenticeships and three Level 4 Procurement and Supply Chain Practitioner apprenticeships. No separate lots or multiple awards are recorded.

This award shows a specific requirement for an apprenticeship provider with the capability to deliver procurement and supply-chain training at Levels 3 and 4. Credible competitors would need suitable programme design, teaching and learner-support capacity for both assistant-level and practitioner-level apprentices, together with the ability to manage seven apprenticeship places for a local authority. Experience of public-sector procurement or supply-chain content would be commercially relevant, as would operational ability to deliver in the East Midlands. The route to market is important: suppliers would need to understand and participate in the Commercial Services Apprenticeship Provider Dynamic Marketplace Framework (RM6102), and SMEs are explicitly identified as suitable providers. The requirement is a useful benchmark for comparable apprenticeship provision sought by Derby City Council.
