## Summary

Derby City Council has successfully completed a procurement process for the provision of alternative education services, utilising a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The procurement, classified under "Education and training services", focused on the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The dynamic purchasing system was initiated on 1st June 2025, with the contracts running from 1st June to 30th June 2025, aligning with the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year 2025/26. This selective procurement method allowed for call-offs over the value of £25,000, totalling an aggregate value of £223,626. The awarded contracts were finalised on 31st March 2025, and the outcomes were published on 5th September 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the education and training industry, particularly those classified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies capable of providing innovative and effective alternative education services can benefit from such competitive processes through a DPS structure. Suppliers like Baby T Workshops Ltd, CAST Angling Projects CIC, and Pony Partnerships have successfully secured active contracts, highlighting the potential for growth and collaboration with public sector entities such as Derby City Council. Engaging in these opportunities can offer businesses a steady pipeline of work and enable them to enhance their reputation and portfolio within the public procurement landscape.
