Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured specialist education and training services for special educational needs (SEN) placements through its SEN Placements Dynamic Purchasing System, TD1941. The requirement covered call-off placements with a total focus on meeting the educational and support needs of children or young people with SEN. Delivery was in the East Midlands, serving the council’s local public-service requirement. The selected provider was Sutherland House School, based in Creswell, Nottinghamshire. This is a services opportunity for specialist schools, education providers and organisations experienced in delivering structured SEN placements. The procurement sits within the broader education and training services category and was arranged by Derby City Council as the purchasing organisation.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from the TD1941 Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract was awarded to Sutherland House School on 31 March 2026 for £30,000. The contract period runs from 1 April 2026 to 30 June 2026. The underlying call-off concerned the first quarter of the 2026/27 financial year, with submissions closing on 31 March 2026. The award is active, and the contract value and period apply to this individual call-off. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published outcome confirms one selected supplier and an award based on the DPS call-off process.

This award demonstrates demand from Derby City Council for specialist SEN placement capacity delivered by an education provider. Businesses considering comparable requirements should be able to provide suitable educational placements, understand the needs of learners with special educational needs, and demonstrate the staffing, facilities and safeguarding arrangements needed for safe and effective delivery. A credible supplier would also need the operational capacity to accept placements and work within public-sector referral, monitoring and contractual arrangements. Specialist schools and other education organisations with established SEN provision are the most directly relevant competitors. The award also shows that this buyer uses its dynamic purchasing system to source individual placements, making familiarity with that route and its qualification requirements commercially important.
