## Summary

Derby City Council procured seven apprenticeship programme places for Children, Young People and Families services, delivered in the East Midlands. The requirement covers two places on a Level 5 Children, Young People and Families Manager programme and five places on a Level 4 Children, Young People and Families Practitioner programme. This is a public-sector training and higher education service, intended to develop management and practitioner capability in work involving children, young people and families. The requirement was arranged through the Commercial Services Apprenticeship Provider Dynamic Marketplace Framework. It is relevant to apprenticeship providers, further or higher education organisations, and specialist training businesses able to deliver structured programmes at these levels for public-sector learners.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective call-off from a framework agreement. Derby City Council awarded the contract to Yorkshire Training Partnership Limited on 16 July 2026 for £42,000. The contract runs from 17 July 2026 to 17 October 2028 and covers the seven apprenticeship places: two Level 5 manager places and five Level 4 practitioner places. The tender submission deadline was 15 July 2026. The procurement was classified as a services contract for higher education services and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award was active, with one supplier recorded. The route to market required participation in the relevant Commercial Services Apprenticeship Provider Dynamic Marketplace Framework.

This award indicates demand from Derby City Council for an apprenticeship provider able to support workforce development in Children, Young People and Families through both management and practitioner pathways. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need the teaching, assessment and learner-support capability to deliver Level 4 and Level 5 apprenticeship programmes, manage different learner cohorts, and provide training aligned with public-sector children and family services. Providers should also be able to operate through the Commercial Services Apprenticeship Provider Dynamic Marketplace Framework, as that was the purchasing route used here. The requirement was explicitly suitable for SMEs, so specialist training organisations with sufficient delivery capacity, quality systems and experience in apprenticeship provision may be well placed when comparable council demand returns.
