Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured apprenticeship and associated training for a civil engineer degree-level apprenticeship, under the title CST025-173 Provision of Apprenticeship (Civil Engineer Degree Level 3). The requirement falls within education and training services and is intended for delivery in England. The council is the buying organisation. The scope is described as a non-Derbyshire County Council framework apprenticeship and associated training requirement, linked to the YPO arrangement. This is a services procurement rather than a goods or construction works contract. It is relevant to universities, further and higher education providers, apprenticeship training organisations and specialist providers able to deliver civil engineering apprenticeship education and related training to public-sector requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a direct award. The tender deadline was 3 September 2026 at 23:59, and the award was made on 4 September 2026. University of Derby – Research & Knowledge Exchange was selected as the supplier. The awarded value is £27,000. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2031. The published information identifies education and training services as the procurement category and confirms that the opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active. The requirement was handled as a direct award rather than an open competition, so the recorded outcome reflects selection through that route rather than comparative tender scoring.

For suppliers that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a public-sector requirement for a long-term civil engineering apprenticeship and associated training service in England. Credible competitors for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide structured apprenticeship delivery at degree level, with the educational expertise and teaching capacity to support civil engineering learners throughout their programme. They would also need experience of coordinating associated training for a public-sector buyer and maintaining delivery over a sustained contract term. The successful supplier’s university and research-and-knowledge-exchange profile indicates that recognised academic capability, specialist civil engineering provision and the organisational capacity to administer apprenticeship training are relevant strengths. Smaller providers may also be well placed, as the requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs.
