## Summary

The Department for Education is leading a procurement process to implement Skills Bootcamps focusing on Digital & Technical training across England. This initiative, part of the National Skills Fund, aims to engage suppliers to design, deliver, and evaluate flexible training models addressing skills shortages. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with key dates including an engagement end date on 14 December 2020. The total estimated contract value for several contracts is approximately £38 million, with contracts expected to start around 17 May 2021 and run until 16 May 2022. 

This opportunity presents substantial growth potential for businesses specialising in education and training services, particularly those with expertise in developing employer-responsive training programmes. Companies skilled in recruiting and training candidates, as well as those capable of providing individualised learning solutions, will be well positioned to compete. The focus on localised delivery and partnerships with community organisations may also encourage collaborations among local providers, creating further opportunities for smaller and medium-sized enterprises to engage effectively in the market.
