Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured two places on a Chartered Surveyor (Real Estate) Level 6 apprenticeship programme. The requirement is for higher education and associated apprenticeship training services, supporting the development of staff towards chartered surveying careers in real estate. Delivery is centred on Derby City Council in Derby and the wider East Midlands. The appointed provider is Nottingham Trent University. The procurement covers training provision rather than construction, property consultancy or surveying services delivered directly to the council. Businesses relevant to this requirement are higher education institutions, apprenticeship providers and organisations able to deliver structured Level 6 real estate surveying programmes for public-sector learners.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 26 August 2026 to Nottingham Trent University for £54,000. The contract runs from 17 September 2026 to 31 May 2032. It was let as a selective procedure through a call-off from the YPO 1086 Apprenticeship and Associated Training Call Off Framework, rather than as an open standalone tender. The response deadline was 24 August 2026 at 23:59. The requirement covers two apprenticeship places. Derby City Council was the buying organisation. The stated classification is higher education services, with the procurement categorised as services. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates sustained public-sector demand for specialist apprenticeship delivery in real estate surveying, with provision designed to support Level 6 Chartered Surveyor development over a multi-year period. A credible competitor would need recognised higher education or apprenticeship delivery capability, relevant expertise in real estate and chartered surveying, and the capacity to support learners through a structured programme rather than provide isolated short courses. Experience of delivering apprenticeships for councils or other public bodies would be relevant, as would the systems needed for learner supervision, progress monitoring and compliance. Access to the YPO apprenticeship framework, or a route into a comparable framework, would be commercially important because this requirement was purchased through a framework call-off.
