## Summary

Derby City Council bought training for its Youth Guarantee, covering fabrication, welding and construction classes. This is an education and skills-training service, intended to provide practical instruction in these trades. The selected provider, Engineered Learning Ltd, is based in Derby, and the delivery location is recorded in the East Midlands. The requirement centres on teaching young people fabrication and welding alongside construction, rather than supplying equipment or carrying out construction work. It is a single-lot service for the council, with the stated programme spanning the academic-year period described in the procurement. The work is relevant to training providers able to deliver practical, trade-focused learning for young people in Derby and the surrounding area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Engineered Learning Ltd. Derby City Council used a below-threshold limited competition. One lot was awarded; the published information gives no evaluation criteria. The contract was signed and came into force on 28 September 2026. Its current period ends on 31 March 2027, with an option for two further 12-month renewals and a maximum extent to 31 March 2029. The contract value is £71,200 gross. The programme description gives delivery dates of 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027, while the contract period is recorded separately as 28 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award is active, and the contract is active.

For training providers competing for similar work from Derby City Council, this award demonstrates demand for practical fabrication, welding and construction teaching for young people through the Youth Guarantee. A credible competitor would need the instructors, workshop facilities and equipment to deliver hands-on learning across these trades, and the capacity to organise classes for the programme’s intended learners. Experience designing and delivering vocational training, managing learner engagement and supporting progression into further training or employment would be relevant to this requirement. Providers should be able to show that they can deliver the specified mix of fabrication, welding and construction instruction as a coherent service for the council. This is a focused, local training requirement rather than a general construction contract; businesses whose work is limited to building works or equipment supply would not match its core need.
