UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council, a public authority in the sub-central government sector, has concluded a contracting process titled "W829 - Education provision for SEND and NEET students for the academic year 2025-26." Situated in Derby, United Kingdom, this process pertains to the education and training services industry category. The contract, valued at £88,000, was awarded using a direct procurement method without competition under light-touch regulations and concluded with the award stage now active. The contract period commenced on 1st April 2026 and ends on 31st August 2026. The procurement process aimed to secure educational placements for SEND and NEET students through a partnership with Engineered Learning Ltd and YMCA, focusing on Derby's UKF11 region.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on providing specialised education services, especially those not currently listed on existing dynamic purchasing systems like TD1941. By establishing partnerships with local councils and engaging in light-touch regulated contracts, SMEs such as Engineered Learning Ltd can leverage this opening to broaden their service offerings and enhance community impact. Businesses with expertise in supporting SEND and NEET students could position themselves favourably for similar contracts, particularly in regions requiring targeted educational interventions. This reflects a valuable chance for providers to expand their operations within the public sector education landscape.
