Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured two places on a Teacher Level 6 apprenticeship programme. The requirement is an education and higher education training service, classified under CPV 80300000, supporting apprentices to undertake teacher training at degree level. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with Derby City Council as the buying organisation. The procurement formed part of the council’s need for teacher apprenticeships and was arranged through an existing apprenticeship and associated training framework. The requirement is for services rather than goods or construction works, and is specifically focused on delivering the named teacher apprenticeship programme rather than general education, recruitment or broader workforce services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to The University of Derby on 26 August 2026 for £36,000. The contract runs from 11 September 2026 to 11 September 2030. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 23:59. Derby City Council used a selective procedure as a call-off from the YPO 1086 Apprenticeship and Associated Training Call Off Framework, rather than running an open competition. The award covers the two Teacher Level 6 apprenticeship places. The published record does not set out separate scored evaluation criteria, lotting or additional participation requirements. The opportunity was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This award demonstrates established demand from Derby City Council for higher-level teacher apprenticeship delivery in the East Midlands. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to deliver Teacher Level 6 apprenticeships, support learners through the full programme and provide reliable education and training provision at regional scale. Access to the relevant apprenticeship and associated training framework would be important, because this purchase was made as a framework call-off rather than through an open tender. Providers with higher education capability, experience of teacher training and sufficient capacity to support multiple apprenticeship places would be best placed to compete when a comparable requirement returns.
