Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council has concluded the procurement process for call-offs from its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for SEN Placements during Q1 2026/27, with a contract valued at £30,000. The procurement, aimed at delivering education and training services, falls under the CPV code 80000000 and is set in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The tender process, initiated via a selective method, was marked as completed on 31 March 2026, with the contract period extending from 1 April 2026 to 30 June 2026. This procurement stage is classified as 'Award', with the contract being actively awarded to Sutherland House School, a large-scale supplier involved in the project.

This contract represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those catering to Special Educational Needs (SEN). Although this particular contract was awarded to a large supplier, the DPS setup offers ongoing opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) who could fulfil similar future requirements. By engaging in a selective procurement method such as this DPS, businesses stand to benefit from regular interaction with Derby City Council, potentially securing repeat business. This setting encourages businesses providing innovative educational solutions to participate actively in forthcoming tendering processes.
