Summary of the contracting process

The recent procurement process conducted by Essex County Council focused on the provision of Skills Bootcamps, an initiative under the education and training services category, identified by CPV code 80000000. This project aims to address local economic demands by delivering Skills Bootcamps throughout Essex, including Thurrock and Southend. The procurement was conducted using a selective method, specifically as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The award stage has been completed as of 30th September 2025, with the contract running from 16th September 2025 through to 30th September 2026. The value of the contract is £1,300,096.56, and the programme is accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) across the East of England.

This contract offers various opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs skilled in education and training services to contribute to regional skill development and economic growth. With a focus on responsive local delivery, businesses well-suited for this opportunity are those with a robust capability in implementing educational programmes tailored to meet specific skill shortages in the region. Participation in such initiatives can enhance an organisation's portfolio, generate revenue, and foster stronger community ties, positioning them favourably for future tenders. With multiple suppliers, including AKG (UK) Learning and AKR Growth ventures ltd involved, this procurement exemplifies a collaborative approach to skills development.
