Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has completed the procurement process for the "Skills Bootcamps in HGV Driving" project, aimed at providing skills training across various regions in England, including North East, London, and the South East. The tender, classified under education and training services, had an end date of 22nd October 2021. With a total contract value of £5,055,900.15, the project has been awarded to Mantra Learning Ltd, with the contract period commencing from 6th December 2021 to 30th November 2022. This procurement was conducted using an accelerated open procedure due to the pressing need for HGV drivers exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, allowing for a swift response to market demands.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for businesses focused on education and training services, particularly those specialising in logistics and transport training. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would be well-suited to participate in this process, given the emphasis on increasing local training capacities in response to ongoing challenges in the sector. Businesses that can deliver effective and timely training programmes, especially in HGV driving, stand to benefit from this initiative and support the UK's recovery from recent disruptions in supply chains.

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."
