## Summary

Derbyshire County Council commissioned a Chartered Manager Degree Apprenticeship at Level 6, including associated apprenticeship training. This is a professional management education and training service, rather than a purchase of goods or construction work. The requirement is linked to an apprenticeship and training framework, and the recorded delivery location is England. The Council is the buyer; the selected provider is the University of Derby’s Research & Knowledge Exchange unit. The qualification level and Chartered Manager focus indicate that the service is intended to develop management capability through a degree apprenticeship. This describes a specific training requirement for the Council, rather than general education provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to the University of Derby – Research & Knowledge Exchange by direct award. The award was made on 13 October 2026, at a value of £110,000. The contract period runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2030. The earlier tender deadline was 12 October 2026. The procurement was for one apprenticeship training service; no lots are recorded. The published suitability settings marked the requirement as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The source gives no evaluation criteria beyond the direct-award route, so there is no stated competitive scoring basis to report.

The award shows Derbyshire County Council’s demand for Level 6 Chartered Manager degree apprenticeship provision and associated training, delivered over a multi-year contract by a university provider. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to deliver the specific qualification and its associated apprenticeship training, with the capacity to support the Council’s needs over a sustained contract. The selected provider’s university research and knowledge exchange profile is also a relevant example of the type of organisation chosen. The recorded suitability settings indicate that smaller businesses and voluntary-sector organisations were not considered suitable for this procurement. The direct-award route means this outcome does not demonstrate how competing offers would be assessed or which scored capabilities determined the selection.
