## Summary

Derby City Council has initiated a contract for "TD2327 - Driver Training and Assessments," aimed at providing professional LGV/HGV training and assessments, including the Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) training, to ensure driver roadworthiness for the council fleet. This procurement falls under the services industry category, with an estimated contract start date of 1 March 2026 and concluding on 28 February 2029, with an option for a two-year extension based on performance and business needs. The location for this procurement is the UKF11 region, with an overall estimated contract value starting at £448,000 and potential to increase due to structural changes like the East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) and Local Government Reorganisation (LGR). The procurement process used is an open procedure, engendering competition and transparency.

This tender creates significant opportunities for SMEs specializing in driver training services, like ROLLIN TRANSPORT TRAINING LTD, who have been awarded this contract. Businesses focusing on training services and with capabilities to adapt to changing fleet sizes and geographical service areas due to LGR or EMCCA adjustments will find this opportunity particularly advantageous. As the contract value could escalate due to anticipated changes, suppliers capable of scaling operations effectively stand to benefit. Additionally, maintaining a high compliance rate with industry standards, including CPC trainings and driving assessments, will be essential to meet the contract’s performance metrics.
