This tender, published on 12th January 2026, falls under the education and training services category. The Council is seeking to commission a provider, or a consortium, to deliver accredited Level 2 and Level 3 Youth Work qualifications across Derbyshire, with the potential to train up to 200 participants as part of the Local Youth Transformation Programme. This opportunity, funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, is part of a strategic effort to enhance the quality and coordination of youth work training. The procurement follows an open procedure with a contract value not exceeding £300,000. Key deadlines include the tender submission by 2nd February 2026, with a contract commencement date of 16th February 2026, and the majority of enrolments required by 31st March 2026. This tender presents a significant opportunity for providers of educational services wishing to expand their operations within the public sector. Organisations with experience in delivering accredited training, especially within the youth service domain, would find this an appealing prospect. The contract allows for collaborations, favouring consortia, thus smaller entities or those new to the field could partner with more established firms to compete effectively. Considering the focus on statutory compliance and workforce development, businesses specialising in youth work training will have the opportunity to leverage their expertise while addressing identified gaps in service provision, thereby contributing to societal benefits and broadening their service offerings in partnership with a reputable council authority. ## Notice Derbyshire County Council is seeking to commission a provider (or consortium) to deliver accredited Level 2 and/or Level 3 Youth Work qualifications as part of the Local Youth Transformation Programme (LYTP).
