## Summary

Derby City Council is in the planning stage of a public procurement process for providing education services to children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. This initiative aims to set up a flexible framework or dynamic market process, replacing an existing system terminating on 31 October 2027. The planned procurement notice was published on 2 April 2026. The procurement falls under the "services" category, specifically in "Education and training services". The contract is expected to be carried out across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, with a procurement timeline from 1 November 2027 to 30 October 2031. The procedure is competitive, flexible, and considered above threshold, with a special focus under the "light touch" regime, and has a total estimated value of £60,000,000.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for organisations specialising in education services for special needs. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are deemed suitable for this project, given the planned lot suitability for them. With a significant contract value and multi-regional scope, businesses can expect to expand their operations and establish a strong presence in the education sector. The flexible framework approach allows businesses to potentially engage in frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems enhancing their market positioning and delivery capabilities. Interested parties should monitor future notices, including a communication update expected by 1 May 2027.
