## Summary

The Department for Education has awarded a contract for the "Skills Bootcamps DPS : Sales, Marketing and Procurement : Second call off competition" under the Education and training services category. The contract, valued at £9,773,434.77 GBP, involves a selective procurement method as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The tender period ended on 28th July 2023, and the contract period is from 1st February 2024 to 31st January 2026. The tender is open to SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations. The procurement location includes regions across the United Kingdom.

This procurement process presents an opportunity for businesses in the education and training services sector, particularly those focusing on sales, marketing, and procurement. Businesses eligible to compete are those offering level 3 - 5 equivalent courses and related training services. SMEs and VCSE organisations are encouraged to participate in this dynamic purchasing system contract to provide in-demand skills training to eligible adult learners across various regions in the UK.

## 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 Sales, Marketing and Procurement category.
