## Summary

The Department for Education has awarded contracts for the "Skills Bootcamps DPS: Construction and Built Environment" initiative. The procurement method used was selective, calling off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract value is £53,184,445.55 in GBP, with a contract period starting on February 1, 2024, and ending on January 31, 2026. The tender period ended on July 28, 2023. This opportunity is in the education and training services category, with delivery addresses across various regions in the United Kingdom.

This contract from the Department for Education for Skills Bootcamps in Construction and Built Environment can be beneficial for SMEs and other businesses in the education and training sector. The initiative aims to offer flexible level 3 - 5 equivalent courses to adult learners. Businesses involved in technical skills training and workforce development are well-suited to compete for these contracts. With a focus on employment support and skills development, this opportunity presents a chance for businesses to contribute to upskilling the workforce and creating job opportunities within the sector.

## Notice

Skills Bootcamps offer flexible, primarily level 3 - 5 equivalent courses of up to 16 weeks in technical skills which are free to eligible adult learners. They give adults the opportunity to build up in-demand, sector-specific skills and fast-track to an interview with an employer - supporting adults to move into well-paid jobs and helping employers to fill much-needed vacancies. Unemployed, employed and self-employed adults can be eligible for a Skills Bootcamp; they can be used to support an unemployed person into a job, an employed adult into a different job in another organisation or to gain another role or other responsibilities in the same organisation, or a self-employed adult to gain new opportunities. They also support groups such as those returning to work after a break, ex-veterans and eligible prisoners within 6 months of release. There is a clear expectation that employers are involved in the whole end-to-end delivery of Skills Bootcamps; and where an employer is using a Skills Bootcamp to train up a current employee, they must contribute towards the costs of the Skills Bootcamp. The Dynamic Purchasing System was launched in November 2022. This Contract Award Notice is for the contracts awarded under the Construction and Built Environment category.
