UK6 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Somerset Council procured adult education and training services to deliver Skills Bootcamps for learners in Somerset and Dorset. The work is to be delivered by training providers under the Department for Education’s grant funding agreement. The procurement covers one lot and is aimed at providers able to deliver the specified bootcamp training across both areas. Yeovil College was selected to provide the service. The requirement therefore concerns delivery of skills training, rather than the supply of training materials or facilities alone.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition as a below-threshold process. Yeovil College received the award on 20 October 2026. The award value is £48,100 excluding VAT (£57,720 including VAT). The contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The process comprised one lot, covering the Skills Bootcamps delivery requirement in Somerset and Dorset. The available information does not set out an evaluation basis beyond the direct award route.

For providers competing for a similar requirement from Somerset Council, the relevant capability is delivering Skills Bootcamps in Somerset and Dorset in line with Department for Education grant funding requirements. A credible provider would need the capacity to run adult training across both areas and to deliver the programme covered by this agreement. The award to Yeovil College demonstrates that the Council has used a direct, non-competitive route for this below-threshold training requirement; it does not establish that future awards will use the same route. Providers with relevant adult education delivery experience and the operational reach to serve both locations would be best placed to demonstrate fit when this requirement is considered again.»} Alex?
