Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured tutoring and education provision for students in Derby, delivered by Teaching Personnel Limited. The service supports historic students who already receive tutoring and will continue to use it until their education ends, as part of the council’s winding-down process. This is an education and training services requirement rather than a general school staffing contract. The work is associated with the council’s provision for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities, although the appointed supplier is not part of the relevant dynamic purchasing system. Businesses considering similar work for the council would need to provide tutoring that maintains continuity for existing students and supports their education through the end of their individual provision.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Derby City Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition, under the light-touch regime. Teaching Personnel Limited was awarded the single lot. The award is active and the contract was signed on 5 September 2025. It runs from 5 September 2025 to 31 August 2026, with a gross value of £65,000. The stated requirement covered tutoring provision for the 2025–26 academic year. The procurement records the students as historic users of the service and describes the contract as part of a winding-down process. The award was made to Teaching Personnel Limited, a London-based SME. No separate competitive evaluation criteria are recorded for this direct award.

This procurement demonstrates demand from Derby City Council for managed tutoring provision that can maintain established educational support for existing students. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need a dependable tutoring operation, suitable tutors and the capacity to provide continuity across individual student arrangements. Experience supporting children and young people with additional or special educational needs would be relevant, particularly where learning provision must continue through a transition or winding-down period. Suppliers should also be able to work with a local authority, manage safeguarding and education-service requirements, and coordinate delivery around each student’s circumstances. The award route shows that the council has used a direct, below-threshold approach for this specific historic requirement, so suppliers should monitor the council’s education commissioning activity and understand its purchasing routes.
