## Summary

DERBY CITY COUNCIL has completed the procurement process for the call-offs from the Dynamic Purchasing System TD1941 for Special Educational Needs (SEN) Educational Placements for the first quarter of 2025/26, valued at £235,354.20. The procurement falls under the 'Education and training services' category and is located in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. This selective procurement method involved a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract period commenced on 10th March 2025 and is set to conclude on 30th August 2027, with Derby City Council acting as the buying organisation and Acorn Care and Education as the supplier.

This procurement opportunity offers significant business growth potential, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialised in education and training services. Those businesses with expertise in providing tailored educational solutions for SEN students are well-suited to engage in similar future tenders. By understanding the procurement methods and engaging with dynamic purchasing systems, SMEs can enhance their competitiveness and expand their presence in the educational services market, especially within the public sector.
