UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council commissioned adult and other education services: training providers are to deliver Skills Bootcamps in Somerset and Dorset under the Department for Education grant funding agreement. The work is a single Skills Bootcamps delivery agreement. The selected provider is Yeovil College.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Yeovil College on 20 October 2026. The award value is £79,800 excluding VAT (£95,760 including VAT). The contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. It was a below-threshold direct award without competition. The procurement covered one lot.

For future Skills Bootcamps requirements from Somerset Council, credible providers will need to deliver training in Somerset and Dorset in line with the Department for Education grant funding agreement. The award demonstrates demand for adult education services through a direct, below-threshold route, and that a college was selected for the delivery agreement. Providers with the capacity to deliver the required bootcamps across the named area and to meet the grant agreement’s delivery requirements are the closest fit.
