## Summary

The public procurement process led by Derby City Council initiated via direct procurement, has reached the award stage for the project titled "W735 - Cubbies for 6 schools". This project involves the provision of multi-sensory cubbie booths aimed at supporting both children and adults by delivering a comprehensive sensory management system. Classified under the industry category of medical equipment and personal care products, the procurement is located in the UK region of UKF11. The contract, valued at GBP 178,000, started on 10th October 2025 and is set to conclude by 31st December 2026. The procurement method used was below the threshold without competition, as the goods were directly awarded to the supplier, dmc design, based in Ireland.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses operating in the sensory equipment and educational support sectors, particularly those that can provide innovative solutions for multi-sensory environments. Businesses that specialise in designing and manufacturing sensory management systems and have experience in educational settings would be well-suited to compete in future similar procurement opportunities. The direct procurement process indicates a potential interest in niche solutions, suggesting openings for small to medium-sized enterprises capable of delivering tailored products that meet specific user needs. Engaging with public authorities like Derby City Council could also pave the way for further collaborations and expansions within the public sector.
