## Summary

The procurement process initiated by Derry City and Strabane District Council involves an award for the delivery of the MakeMe Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering Academy. This initiative falls under the Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering sector and is aimed at providing training services within Northern Ireland, specifically in Derry. The contract has been awarded to North West Regional College and was finalised on 30th May 2025, with a gross value of £13,200, scheduled to run from 7th June 2025 to 31st July 2025. The process followed an open competition approach, compliant with Northern Irish devolved regulations, and was below the threshold for larger tenders.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for organisations in the Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering sectors, especially those experienced in delivering training programmes. Businesses that can develop, manage, and deliver such academies will find themselves well-positioned to contribute to local industry growth, particularly by providing essential training to potential school leavers. Opportunities for partnership and collaboration with entities like GEMX could further enhance the impact on workforce development and align participating businesses with key regional educational and employment initiatives.
