UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Derby City Council procured a grant-funded coded welder training programme for its Youth Guarantee. This is a specialist education and training service focused on preparing young people to gain coded welding skills. The work is associated with Derby, England, and the council is the buyer. The programme sits within youth skills and vocational training, with coded welding as its specific technical focus. The published scope identifies the training programme rather than separate equipment, construction works or wider employment services. Its purpose is to deliver training under the council’s Youth Guarantee, supported by grant funding.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Trusted Technical Training Limited, a Derby-based small and medium-sized enterprise. It was run as a below-threshold limited competition for one lot. The award date is not provided; the contract came into force on 19 October 2026 and was signed on 19 October 2026. The initial contract period runs to 31 March 2027, with provision for two 12-month renewals and a maximum end date of 31 March 2029. The contract value is £40,000 gross. The procurement data identifies coded welder training as the requirement but does not set out an evaluation formula or detailed award criteria.

This award shows Derby City Council’s demand for grant-funded vocational training tied to a defined youth employment initiative, with coded welding as the specialist skill. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to deliver practical, industry-relevant coded welder training and support learners to develop the skills required for coded welding. The selected supplier is a Derby-based SME, demonstrating that a specialist local training provider can deliver this type of programme through limited competition. Providers whose core work is general training without relevant welding capability are less closely aligned. The contract is modest in scale and relatively focused, so suitability depends on being able to provide the specified specialist training rather than broad workforce services.
