Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process detailed involves Derby City Council's awarding of a selective tender for various apprenticeship opportunities within the education and training services sector. The tender, titled "F719- Procurement of various apprenticeships," includes positions for Business Admin, Customer Service Practitioner, Teaching Assistant, and Early Years Educator apprenticeships. With a total value of £50,195 GBP, the initiative is geographically focused on the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed is a call-off from a framework agreement, indicating that the contract is limited to pre-selected suppliers. The tender period concluded on 31 May 2025, and the contract commenced on 1 June 2025, with an anticipated end by 30 June 2028. Derby College Group has been awarded the contract, which remains active as of 17 December 2025.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for entities specialising in educational services and training, particularly those capable of delivering diverse apprenticeship programmes. Although the suitability criteria indicate a preference for large-scale organisations, rather than SMEs or VCSEs, entities possessing expertise in the specified apprenticeships can leverage the contract's framework agreement model to establish long-term collaborative relationships with Derby City Council. Businesses well-positioned to compete include those with established reputations in delivering high-quality apprenticeship training within the region, potentially leading to further opportunities with the council or expansion into similar public sector contracts.
