Summary of the contracting process

Derbyshire County Council commissioned nationally recognised youth work training through its Local Youth Transformation Programme. The service is intended for a minimum of 100 staff and volunteers across Derbyshire, with scope to support up to 200 participants depending on capacity and uptake. The requirement is for education and training services focused on accredited youth worker qualifications, rather than general staff training. Delivery is specified across Derbyshire. The council is the buying organisation, and the selected provider is R Mobile trading as Need 2 Succeed. The programme serves both youth-work staff and volunteers, so the work combines training provision with the ability to support a substantial group of learners in the county.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to R Mobile trading as Need 2 Succeed. Derbyshire County Council used a below-threshold limited competition for this light-touch service, with one lot. The award is active and the contract is active. It was signed on 9 March 2026, with a contract period from 9 March 2026 to 31 March 2029. The contract value is £300,000 excluding VAT and £360,000 including VAT. The published information describes the requirement and training outcome but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or eligibility conditions. The selected supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise.

For providers of accredited youth work training, this award demonstrates demand from Derbyshire County Council for nationally recognised qualifications delivered to staff and volunteers across the county. A credible competitor would need to provide high-quality training that leads to recognised youth worker qualifications and have the delivery capacity to serve at least 100 participants, with the potential to scale to 200 if demand and capacity support it. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that this requirement was delivered by a smaller provider rather than necessarily requiring a large national training organisation. Experience supporting youth-sector workers and volunteers, and the ability to manage a sizeable learner cohort across Derbyshire, are directly relevant strengths for suppliers competing when this council next procures the same requirement.
