This initiative, which falls within the open procedure procurement method, is designed to address the growing digital skills gap in the region. The tender was published on 8th October 2021, with submissions closing on 9th November 2021. Following the completion of the tender phase, the contract was awarded on 14th December 2021, with a total contract value of £799,833. The contract period runs from 21st December 2021 to 31st March 2022, with delivery expected in the North West of England. This procurement opportunity presents significant potential for businesses focused on training and educational services, particularly those specialising in digital skills and technology-related training. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that offer courses in areas such as digital marketing, web development, and cybersecurity would be well-suited to compete for this contract, enabling them to contribute to the workforce development efforts in the Liverpool City Region. The funding from the Department for Education highlights the government's commitment to enhancing digital skills, opening doors for suppliers looking to align with this initiative. ## Notice The Digital Skills for the Workplace Project Team sit in the Skills & Apprenticeship Hub and are part of the Liverpool City Region Combined Authority (LCRCA). The Digital Skills for the Workplace pilot project was developed in September 2020 as part of the Department for Education's (DfE) Digital Bootcamps pilot. The Liverpool City Region (LCR) was one of just six areas nationally to trial the skills training aimed at helping participants to find jobs in the growing digital and tech sector and help employers to fill digital skills gaps in their business. LCRCA has recently secured a further PS1.2m funding from the Department for Education to deliver Digital Skills Bootcamps across LCR which are part of the Government's Lifetime Skills Guarantee and Plan for Jobs initiative and therefore extend the LCRCA Digital Skills for the Workplace to 31st March 2022. LCRCA has been approved by DfE to deliver the following bootcamps which have been further split into a total of 21 lots based on the cohort number.
