UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council procured adult education and vocational training services to deliver Skills Bootcamps in Somerset and Dorset. The training is to be provided by training providers under the Department for Education grant funding agreement. The requirement is for delivery of the bootcamps themselves, rather than a general training or education service, and is classified as adult and other education services. The contract covers work in both Somerset and Dorset. The selected provider, Train4All Limited, is based in Martock, Somerset.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly to Train4All Limited, without competition, as a below-threshold contract. The award date was 19 October 2026. The awarded value is £79,000 excluding VAT (£94,800 including VAT). The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The process comprised one lot, covering Skills Bootcamp delivery in Somerset and Dorset under the Department for Education grant funding agreement. The award is active.

For the next comparable requirement from Somerset Council, credible providers will need the capacity and expertise to deliver Skills Bootcamps in Somerset and Dorset in line with the Department for Education grant funding agreement. The selected supplier was a small and medium-sized training company based in Somerset, indicating that a regional provider can deliver this requirement. Relevant adult education experience and the ability to operate across both counties would be directly applicable. The contract was awarded by direct appointment without competition, so this award does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation or establish specific scored criteria. Suppliers considering this buyer’s recurring bootcamp delivery should be able to evidence suitable training provision and delivery capability at this scale.
