## Summary

The public procurement process for the "F727- Procurement of six apprenticeship programmes" has been successfully completed by Derby City Council, located in Derby, England. This tender sought the procurement of training services, including Business Admin Level 3, Teaching Assistant Level 3, Early Years Educator Level 3, and Customer Service Level 2 Apprenticeships. It was conducted using a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period extends from 1 September 2025 to 31 December 2027, with services delivered in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. Key dates for this procurement included the tender end date on 31 August 2025, and the award was published on 12 December 2025.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses within the training services sector, particularly those capable of delivering apprenticeship programmes. The procurement method being selective and involving a call-off from a framework agreement means suitable suppliers would benefit from pre-existing relationships or credentials with Derby City Council or similar establishments. Large-scale organisations might find competitive advantages in such processes, as the tender's suitability criteria indicate preferences outside the SME and VCSE categories, evidenced by the awarding to the Derby College Group, a large-scale supplier. Engaging with procurement entities like Derby City Council could lead to future collaborations and ongoing contract opportunities in government-driven training initiatives.
