## Summary

Derby City Council procured an apprenticeship programme for an Environmental Health Practitioner at Level 6. This is a higher-level education and apprenticeship service, intended to support professional development in environmental health. The work is delivered in the East Midlands for the council. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and was called off from the Commercial Services Apprenticeship Provider Dynamic Marketplace Framework. Businesses relevant to this requirement include organisations that provide Level 6 apprenticeship training and higher education services in environmental health or closely matching professional disciplines. The named buyer is Derby City Council, based in Derby. The requirement concerns delivery of the apprenticeship programme rather than construction, equipment supply or general consultancy.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. The award was made on 10 August 2026 to Weston College for £22,000. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 7 September 2030. The tender submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 23:59. One supplier is identified for the requirement. The process used a framework call-off route rather than an open standalone tender. The procurement was classified as a services requirement under higher education services. The awarded contract covers the Environmental Health Practitioner, Level 6 apprenticeship programme for Derby City Council, with delivery in the East Midlands.

This award is useful market evidence for apprenticeship and higher education providers that can deliver a Level 6 Environmental Health Practitioner programme for a local authority. A credible competitor would need an established apprenticeship delivery model, suitable teaching and learner-support capability, and the capacity to provide professional environmental health training at higher-education level. The procurement also shows that Derby City Council uses a framework call-off route for this type of requirement, so providers seeking comparable work should understand and monitor relevant apprenticeship-provider frameworks and dynamic marketplaces. The selected supplier, Weston College, is recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It therefore points to a requirement suited to larger, established providers.
