## Summary

DERBY CITY COUNCIL, located in Derby, England, recently concluded a procurement process for the inclusion on a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for education services tailored towards children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. The process employed an open procedure above the threshold to ensure transparency and inclusivity. This procurement falls under the Education and training services category, specifically within the East Midlands, UK. The contract was awarded on 20th August 2025, following the tender period that ended on 18th July 2025. The contract will run from 1st September 2025 to 31st October 2027, with BEECHKEYS LIMITED (THE AURORA GROUP) being the successful awardee.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for SMEs in the education sector. As the procurement method used was open, it offers a level playing field for various service providers capable of delivering specialised education services to young people with special needs. Given the project's nature, businesses that have experience or expertise in special education and are capable of scaling services in alignment with the DPS framework are well-suited to compete in such tenders. The commitment towards inclusivity by DERBY CITY COUNCIL also indicates a potential boost for smaller enterprises looking to establish a foothold within public sector education services.
