Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council, acting as the buying organisation, has awarded a contract for the "DfE Bootcamp training Mixed L&M", a project funded by the Department for Education. This contract falls under the industry category of adult and other education services, as well as training services. The process has reached the award stage as of 22nd September 2025, with a contract period from 1st June 2025 to 31st March 2026. The procurement method used was direct and below threshold, indicating the absence of a competitive process. Located in Taunton, Somerset Council operates within the sub-central government framework, and the services will be provided primarily within the UKK2 region of the United Kingdom.

The awarded contract offers valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in educational and training services. Given that Bournemouth and Poole College, a large-scale provider, is the contracted supplier, similar institutions that offer adult education and training services might find this type of tendering process particularly beneficial for strategic growth. Entering into these contracted service provisions could yield long-term partnerships with government bodies, allowing businesses to expand their expertise and service offerings in collaboration with public authorities like Somerset Council.
