Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured apprenticeship and associated training services for a Data Analyst Level 4 apprenticeship. The requirement falls within education and training services and is intended to provide apprenticeship delivery rather than general consultancy or standalone data analysis. The work is to be delivered in England. The procurement was made through a non-council framework arrangement for apprenticeship and associated training. It is therefore relevant to organisations that provide structured apprenticeship programmes, data-analytics training and the associated learner support needed to deliver a Level 4 qualification. The named buying organisation is Derbyshire County Council, based at County Hall in Matlock. The opportunity is classified under CPV 80000000, covering education and training services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded by direct award. Derbyshire County Council selected Cambridge Spark as supplier on 1 September 2026. The awarded value is £30,000. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2028. The original tender deadline was 31 August 2026 at 23:59. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award covers the Data Analyst Level 4 apprenticeship and associated training requirement. There was one active award, to Cambridge Spark, and its value is reported separately rather than as part of a wider total. The award followed a non-competitive direct-award route rather than an open competition.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Derbyshire County Council for a specialist provider able to deliver a Data Analyst Level 4 apprenticeship and associated training through a framework route. A credible future competitor would need the capability to provide structured apprenticeship delivery, relevant data-analytics teaching and ongoing learner support, rather than only short courses or recruitment services. The requirement is suitable for an SME, so a smaller specialist training organisation can be commercially relevant if it can meet the delivery and quality expectations for a formal Level 4 apprenticeship. Cambridge Spark’s selection indicates that a focused data-training provider can satisfy this buyer’s requirement. Providers with an established apprenticeship operation and demonstrable data-analytics training experience would be best placed when this council requirement returns to market.
