## Summary

Derby City Council has successfully completed a direct award procurement process for a residential placement service for the year 2025/2026, under the title "W698 - Residential Placement for 2025/2026". This procurement falls under the services category, specifically targeting education and training services within the UKF11 region of Derby, United Kingdom. The procurement, classified under a light touch regime, was executed without competition due to its below-threshold nature. Key dates include the contract start on 1st September 2025, with an end date of 28th August 2026, and the contract was officially signed on 31st August 2025. The contract, valued at £174,579, was awarded to Portland College Charity, effective from the publication date of 15th November 2025.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for service providers in the education and training sector, particularly those focused on residential placements. Businesses that specialise in educational services and have experience with sub-central government contracts can benefit from similar future prospects. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with the capability to deliver comprehensive residential education services might find such opportunities especially beneficial for growth and establishing a foothold in public sector contracts. Engaging with contracts like this could potentially broaden the scope and reliability of services offered by such providers.
