Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Education has completed a tender process for the provision of Skills Bootcamps in HGV Driving, with a total contract value of £873,520. The procurement was classified under education and training services and covered various regions across England, including London, the North East, the North West, and the South East. This accelerated open procurement aimed to meet the urgent demands of the HGV labour market and had an end date for tender submissions on 22 October 2021, leading to a contract period that commenced on 6 December 2021 and concludes on 30 November 2022.

This tender presents significant opportunities for training providers, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) that specialise in educational services.

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."
