This engagement, aligned with the Sussex region's Local Skills Improvement Plan, is at the planning stage, with the procurement set to be conducted via a further competition on the West Sussex DPS for Learning & Development Services. Prospective suppliers must register for the DPS by 30th May 2025, and the tender opportunity is anticipated to open in early June 2025. Contracts are expected to commence in July 2025 for an initial 15-month period. An online engagement session will be held on 27th May 2025, and interested parties must register by 23rd May 2025. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses skilled in data analytics, cyber security practices, software, games development, IT, project management, and various construction and personal training sectors. SMEs and VCSEs are encouraged to participate, providing they have a robust understanding of the Brighton & Hove area and a comprehensive industry network. The lack of a limit on the number of Lots a supplier may bid for further enhances the potential business prospects. Successful bidders will benefit from collaboration with a key local authority, potentially leading to long-term partnerships and increased visibility in the region. The procurement mechanisms utilised ensure a competitive and open bidding process adaptable for qualified entities within the relevant industry categories. ## Notice Brighton & Hove City Council are seeking qualified and experienced training providers to develop and deliver the Brighton & Hove Skills Bootcamps across four priority subject areas including digital, project management, construction and sport.
