Summary of the contracting process

The Police and Crime Commissioner for Derbyshire procured an online safety programme for schools. The service falls within education and training, educational software and school, youth, special and adult education services, with training as the central requirement. It is intended for delivery across the United Kingdom, including the Derbyshire policing area. The programme may involve providing online safety education and training to schools, supported by educational software or other digital learning resources. The buyer is a public authority responsible for policing and community safety, so suppliers with experience of working with schools, children and young people, and public-sector stakeholders are relevant. The opportunity was classed as a light-touch service procurement and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a below-threshold open competition. One valid bid was received. Evaluation placed 80% on quality—business requirements 50%, presentation 20% and social value 10%—and 20% on price. The contract was awarded on 16 June 2026 to E Safety Training Limited. The awarded value is £174,000 excluding VAT, or £208,800 including VAT. The contract period is 1 October 2026 to 30 September 2027, with an option for one 12-month extension, allowing a maximum end date of 30 September 2029. The tender enquiry deadline was 5 May 2026 and the bid deadline was 13 May 2026. There was one lot covering the complete requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined public-sector demand for online safety education delivered to schools, with quality carrying substantially more weight than price. A credible future competitor would need to show a strong programme that meets detailed business requirements, communicate its approach effectively in a presentation, and provide measurable social value. Relevant capability includes delivering education and training for primary-aged pupils, young people and other learners, designing or using educational software, and understanding safeguarding and online risks in school settings. Experience of working with schools, education professionals, children and young people, and public authorities would support credibility. The requirement was suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that specialist providers can compete where they can evidence service quality, social value and reliable delivery capacity.
