UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council is procuring a trauma-informed training programme for its Early Years Service, in partnership with the Virtual School. The service is designed around trauma-informed relational practice and will support practitioners working with children and young people across every educational stage, from Early Years through to Post-16 provision. This is an education and training service, with the related classification covering social work and associated services. Delivery is across Derbyshire. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is relevant to organisations that design and deliver workforce training for education, children’s services or related practitioners, particularly where their work addresses trauma-informed practice, relationships and support for children and young people.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold limited competition under the light-touch regime. Four bids were received, including three from SMEs and one from a voluntary, community or social enterprise. Knowledge Change Action Ltd was selected on 20 August 2026 for the single lot, at an awarded value of £390,000 including gross value. The awarded contract runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2029. The Council may exercise two one-year extensions, taking the potential maximum period to 31 October 2031, subject to satisfactory performance and continued funding. The planned contract signature date was 4 September 2026. The lot and overall procurement have complete status.

This award demonstrates established demand from Derbyshire County Council for structured trauma-informed training spanning the full education system, rather than a single school phase. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide a coherent programme for practitioners from Early Years to Post-16, with expertise in trauma-informed relational practice and its application to children and young people. Relevant capability may include designing training for varied educational audiences, coordinating delivery across a county-wide service and working effectively with council education teams and a Virtual School. The competition attracted four bids, showing that the requirement can draw interest from both SMEs and socially oriented organisations. Suppliers should be able to evidence dependable delivery, meaningful practitioner support and outcomes that demonstrate value and sustained improvement.
