UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council procured training-provider services to deliver Skills Bootcamps in Somerset and Dorset, under the Department for Education grant funding agreement. The requirement is for adult and other education services, focused on delivering the bootcamp training rather than supplying goods or carrying out construction. The award record associates delivery with Somerset; the overall requirement description names both Somerset and Dorset. This is relevant to providers able to deliver Skills Bootcamps in these areas and meet the grant agreement’s requirements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Professional Apprenticeships Ltd. Somerset Council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The recorded award date is 19 October 2026. The award value is £42,000 excluding VAT and £50,400 including VAT. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The process had one lot, which is complete. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement data; the route was a non-competitive award rather than a scored competition.

For providers considering similar work for Somerset Council, the award demonstrates demand for Skills Bootcamps delivered in Somerset and Dorset through the Department for Education grant funding arrangement. A credible supplier would need to provide adult training and organise delivery that fits the bootcamp model and the grant agreement. The selected provider is a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this requirement was delivered by an SME; this does not establish a formal size restriction for future work. As the award was made directly without competition, the record offers no evidence of a scored capability threshold or a competitive evaluation standard. Relevant experience in Skills Bootcamp delivery and the ability to operate across the named areas are the clearest indicators of fit.」} 马会ҳаракýyş} in actuality malformed?
