## Summary

Derbyshire County Council commissioned apprenticeship and associated training services for the Highways Maintenance Skilled Operative Level 2 standard. The requirement sits within education and training services and is intended to support apprentices working towards a skilled operative qualification in highways maintenance. Delivery is in England, for the council’s highways-related workforce and training needs. The buying organisation is Derbyshire County Council, based at County Hall in Matlock. The requirement is a service rather than the supply of goods or construction works. It forms part of a wider apprenticeship and associated training arrangement, but this procurement specifically concerns the Level 2 highways maintenance skilled operative provision.

This procurement has been completed and was awarded by direct award. Construction and Plant Assessments LTD was selected on 7 September 2026 for £81,000 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract is scheduled to run from 1 November 2026 to 30 April 2028. The underlying requirement was also valued at £81,000. The process used a direct-award route rather than an open competition, and the contract is recorded as an active award. The published requirement identified Derbyshire County Council as the buyer and the service category as education and training. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

For a supplier assessing future demand, this award shows Derbyshire County Council’s need for a focused provider of Level 2 apprenticeship training for highways maintenance skilled operatives. A credible competitor would need the capability to deliver the relevant apprenticeship standard and associated training, understand highways maintenance work, and support learners through a practical occupational programme. Experience working with public-sector or employer-led apprenticeship requirements would help demonstrate delivery reliability, while sufficient teaching, assessment and learner-support capacity would be important for a council-wide service. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that specialist providers can meet this type of requirement, although the procurement itself was marked unsuitable for SMEs.
