## Summary

Cumberland Council procured engineering and manufacturing training for the Advanced Manufacturing Skills Boot Camp, Wave 7, under Lot 6. The work is a training service for developing skills in advanced manufacturing, with delivery in England. The council is the buyer. The requirement is specifically for engineering and manufacturing training rather than general skills provision, so it is most relevant to providers able to deliver practical, sector-focused training for this boot camp. The procurement is recorded as a service and classified under training services (CPV 80500000).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to 3D360 and Lakes College. The award date was 7 September 2026, with a stated award value of £43,200. The awarded contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 August 2027. The council used a restricted procedure, meaning the competition followed a selective route. The tender’s stated contract period was 10 September 2026 to 30 September 2027, and the submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 12:00. The opportunity was structured as Lot 6, Engineering & Manufacturing. The tender was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details.

This award demonstrates demand from Cumberland Council for engineering and manufacturing training linked to advanced manufacturing skills boot camps. The work was awarded jointly to 3D360 and Lakes College, both identified as small and medium-sized enterprises, showing that the requirement was delivered by specialist providers rather than a single large contractor. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to combine engineering and manufacturing expertise with the ability to design and deliver practical, sector-specific training for learners. Providers with relevant training delivery capacity and established links to advanced manufacturing employers would be well placed to meet this buyer’s requirement. The selective procurement route also indicates that suppliers should be equipped to demonstrate relevant capability and experience when competing for comparable training work.
