## Summary

Derbyshire County Council is planning a public procurement process for the provision of swimming pools and lessons for school children in Derbyshire. This initiative, categorised under recreational, cultural, and sporting services, is valued at £5.4 million over 8 years. The framework is set to begin on 1st September 2026 and extend until 31st August 2034. The planning stage is underway, with a future notice scheduled for 27th July 2026. This procurement involves a framework agreement to enhance competitive supplier engagement. The services will be delivered within the UKF1 region of the United Kingdom, focusing on school facilities tailored to provide comprehensive swimming education.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in education, training services, and sports facility operations. Companies with expertise in hosting and delivering swimming programmes, particularly those experienced with school curriculums and compliance with national standards, will find this opportunity rewarding. Facilities near population centres, capable of accommodating large groups, and equipped with necessary accessibility features, are ideal candidates. Additionally, enterprises providing certified swimming instructors would be well-suited to compete, given the requirement for qualified personnel across multiple districts in Derbyshire. The creation of an open framework allows for adaptability and the inclusion of additional service providers over the 8-year period, offering potential for long-term business partnerships.
