Summary of the contracting process

Derby Homes Limited is procuring working-at-height training services for its employees and delegates. The requirement covers both theoretical knowledge and practical use of work-at-height equipment, with training designed to meet the legal, regulatory and industry standards applicable to participants’ roles. Delivery is required in person, either at Derby Homes’ London Road Depot in Derby or at the provider’s training facility, provided it is accessible to Derby Homes employees. The procurement is categorised as training services (CPV 80500000). The requirement is suited to accredited, competent training providers able to deliver high-quality instruction and practical sessions in an appropriate workplace or training environment. Derby Homes prefers a local provider within 25 miles of Derby, although the stated suitability information does not make this an absolute participation restriction.

The procurement has reached tender: Derby Homes invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries had to be submitted by 10 August 2026 at 17:00, and offers are due by 17 September 2026 at 14:00. The contract is scheduled to run from 5 November 2026 to 4 November 2027, with two optional 12-month extensions, subject to budget, service satisfaction and Local Government Reorganisation updates; the maximum period ends on 4 November 2029. The estimated value is £135,000 excluding VAT, or £162,000 including VAT. There is one lot. Bidders are assessed first on general capability and capacity, then on quality and price: quality accounts for 40% through four method statements, while price accounts for 60% across four priced elements.

This opportunity suits an accredited training organisation with demonstrable competence in working-at-height instruction and the capacity to provide both classroom-based theory and practical equipment training. Suppliers should be able to ensure delegates achieve the legal, regulatory and industry standards required for their roles, and to deliver sessions face to face at Derby Homes’ depot or at an accessible provider facility. A provider within 25 miles of Derby is preferred, which may favour businesses already operating locally and able to support on-site delivery. Small and medium-sized enterprises are expressly considered suitable. Bidders will need to demonstrate general capability and capacity through the Procurement Specific Questionnaire, then provide four method statements addressing quality requirements and submit competitive pricing for four elements. The evaluation therefore rewards both delivery quality and cost control.
