## Summary

Nottinghamshire County Council, acting for the East Midlands Combined County Authority, bought training services to deliver Skills Bootcamps across the East Midlands. The programme was divided into six subject areas: green construction and renewable energy; digital; early years and education; engineering, manufacturing and advanced manufacturing; leadership and management; and logistics and transport. The requirement is for providers able to deliver vocational training in one or more of these fields, rather than for general education services. The procurement used the Crown Commercial Service’s Adult Skills and Learning dynamic purchasing system as its route to market. Delivery is across the East Midlands region. The buyer is Nottinghamshire County Council, on behalf of EMCCA.

The procurement is complete and contracts were awarded on 17 July 2026 following a further competition under a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The competition closed on 7 June 2026. The estimated procurement range was £3,092,121.40 to £9,276,364.20. Awards were made for the contract period 1 August 2026 to 31 July 2027: Smart Gas Training & Assessment Centre Ltd, £1,428,310.80; Talented Training Limited, £1,250,640; Staff Power Training Limited, £2,351,131.20; Tech Educators Limited, £727,560; Think Employment Ltd, £1,991,106; Momentum Recruitment Limited, £876,960; Derby Business College Limited trading as DBC Training, £404,643.60; Maya Rail Technical Training & Consultancy Ltd, £978,120; Mastered Studios, £578,880; and Betterweld Group Ltd, £478,764. The stated contract term is one year, with an option for two further 12-month extensions at EMCCA’s discretion. The published information does not set out the evaluation basis.

This award demonstrates demand for specialist, vocational training across six distinct sectors, with multiple providers selected and several suppliers winning work in more than one subject area. Businesses best placed to compete in a comparable requirement would have a track record of delivering relevant occupational training, the teaching and assessment capability to serve learners across the East Midlands, and sufficient capacity to deliver the subject areas they pursue. The successful suppliers include small and medium-sized businesses, and the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs. Sector expertise matters: providers need to match their offer to areas such as digital, construction, engineering, early years, leadership or logistics, rather than rely on a general training proposition. The call-off route also shows the value of qualifying for the relevant adult skills and learning purchasing system before a competition arises.
