Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council procured an education and family-support service called Best Start in Life: Home Learning Environment Intervention for Derbyshire. The requirement is an evidence-based intervention and training programme to help families support their children’s learning at home. It is a service focused on early learning, parental support and improving the home learning environment, delivered for families across Derbyshire. The work is classed as education and training services. The council is the public-sector buyer and commissioning organisation. The requirement was arranged as one complete lot, covering the programme as a whole rather than separate service packages. This opportunity would be relevant to organisations with established early-years, family-learning, parenting-support or education-training provision, particularly those able to deliver evidence-based programmes across Derbyshire.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Derbyshire County Council selected PEEP LEARNING LIMITED, an Oxford-based SME, for the single lot. The contract was signed on 24 August 2026 and runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 March 2029. Its gross value is £150,000. The procurement was below the applicable threshold, with the method recorded as unknown. The programme is intended to run for three years in line with Department for Education grant funding, while the recorded contract period extends across the specified start and end dates. The award is active and the contract is active. The selected supplier is responsible for the education and training service supporting families with children’s learning at home across Derbyshire.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for an organisation able to deliver evidence-based home-learning interventions and train families to support children’s learning at home. A credible future competitor would need practical expertise in early-years education, family learning, parenting support or related community education, together with a programme that can be delivered consistently across Derbyshire. Evidence of outcomes, an established training model and the ability to engage families would strengthen a supplier’s position. The scale calls for a provider capable of managing a council-funded service across a county, coordinating delivery and maintaining quality over a sustained programme. Organisations with experience delivering grant-funded education or family-support services for public authorities would be well placed to compete when this requirement returns.
