Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "T25-147BUS Delivery of the Succeed in Enterprise Programme for DCSDC LMP" has been initiated by Derry City and Strabane District Council, a sub-central government public authority in Northern Ireland. This project focuses on providing education and personal development training services, classified under the economic inactivity theme. The finalised award, with a contract start date of 20th January 2026, will run until 30th September 2026, with a renewable option subject to funding. The contract was awarded to Enterprise North West, valued at £54,336 GBP, following an open procurement method with below-threshold open competition. Key milestones, such as future signature dates, were scheduled for completion on the 19th of January 2026, marking the transition from the tender to the award stage.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses operating within the educational and training services sector, especially those experienced in developing and managing enterprise programmes. SMEs and VCSEs that can offer expertise in these areas might find the opportunity particularly appealing due to the procurement's open competition format, ensuring a level playing field for smaller enterprises. Businesses poised for growth by expanding their service delivery in economically inactive regions in Northern Ireland would benefit from engaging with this contract. The project’s potential extension into 2027 further underlines opportunities for sustained business involvement, given it is subjected to available funding.
