Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Derbyshire County Council, involves the direct award of a contract titled "CST025-160 Provision of Apprenticeships (Specialist Teaching Assistant Level 5).” It falls under the industry category of education and training services, specifically aimed at delivering services in England. The procurement is in the 'Award' stage, having been completed with a contract period set to begin on 1st August 2026, and concluding on 31st July 2028. The tender valued at £96,000 was awarded to Captiva Learning Limited through a direct award method, ensuring a streamlined procurement process without the need for competitive bidding.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses involved in educational and training services, particularly for those specialising in apprenticeship and associated training programmes. With the contract secured under a direct award, such businesses can benefit from understanding procedures used in non-competitive auctions, positioning themselves for similar future engagements. While this particular contract was awarded to Captiva Learning Limited, a small to medium-sized enterprise (SME), the opportunity remains for other SMEs to engage with local councils such as Derbyshire County Council. Establishing relationships in this sector can lead to long-term business growth and stability by expanding service offerings across educational needs within the UK.
