Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has initiated a tender for the "Skills Bootcamps in HGV Driving," targeted at enhancing HGV driver training across England. This procurement, classified under education and training services, operates under an open procedure and is currently in the award stage, with the contract period expected to start on 6th December 2021 and conclude on 30th November 2022. The project, valued at £874,433, was published on 8th October 2021, with a tender period ending on 22nd October 2021. The authority aims to escalate the number of trained HGV drivers to meet rising demands in the industry, particularly following disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in driver training and workforce development services. Companies that can provide comprehensive HGV training solutions, including recruitment and licensing processes for potential drivers, would be well-positioned to bid. With an emphasis on equipping individuals aged 19 and over with in-demand skills and facilitating interviews with local employers, this initiative aims to address the substantial skills gap in the road haulage industry, creating pathways for both new entrants and those looking to return to the sector.

The 'accelerated' procedure is in reference to the required delivery time scales. The Authority used an accelerated timetable under section 74-76 'LTR' for this procurement to increase at pace the quantity of HGV drivers to meet the increased demand of service pressures within supply chains caused by a variety of reasons including consequences from Covid-19 pandemic. Using the accelerated timetable for this procurement, enabled the Authority to award contracts to potential Contractors and commence respective training programmes, advertising training packages to general public and to start onboarding by December 2021 to tackle the sector challenges."
