Summary of the contracting process

East Sussex County Council has completed the procurement process for the delivery of "Skills Bootcamps in Business Management," aimed at educating 12 learners. This contract, in the education and training services category, was awarded through a direct process due to urgent requirements, ensuring continuity without the need for a full competitive procurement cycle. The contract was signed on 8th October 2025 and runs from 15th October 2025 to 30th September 2026. The services are to be delivered in the UKJ22 region, ensuring timely project mobilisation and safeguarding funding while maintaining value for money.

Notice Title

Skills Bootcamps in Business Management

Notice Description

Delivery of Skills Bootcamps in Business Management to 12 learners. Due to the originally awarded provider no longer being able to provide these requirements, there is an urgent need to reallocate funding to safeguard provision for existing learners and ensure delivery within the contracted timeframe. There is insufficient time to run a full competitive procurement process without risking disruption to learners and failure to achieve agreed outcomes. A direct award allows mobilisation to begin immediately, ensuring continuity and value for money.
