## Summary

The West Midlands Combined Authority (WMCA) is seeking providers to deliver bootcamps in Retrofit, Logistics, and Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering at levels 3-5. The procurement stage is complete, and the contract duration is from 17th July 2023 to 31st March 2024, with options to extend until 31st March 2026. The industry category is Adult and other education services, with a contract value of £8,626,050 GBP. The procurement method is selective, involving a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system.

This tender opportunity from WMCA offers a chance for SMEs and VCSEs to compete for delivering education services in the specified areas. Businesses focused on training and education, especially in technical fields, would be well-suited for this opportunity. The focus on skills development for unemployed and employed residents presents a growth opportunity for businesses looking to contribute to enhancing digital skills and employability in the West Midlands region.

## Notice

In 2018, the Department for Education (DfE) awarded West Midlands Combined Authority PS5m as part of its Skills Deal to develop and test Digital Skills bootcamps. These bootcamps were designed to help unemployed, economically inactive and career changers in the WMCA administrative area to enter digital roles beyond entry-level. Bootcamps were also used to support employed residents to gain the skills required to secure more digital responsibility or promotion within their existing employment. Following the success of the initial programme, a further PS3.1m was then awarded to WMCA and delivery has also been continued via the Adult Education Budget. In 2022 WMCA were awarded a further PS11.25m to develop 'bootcamp' provision and a further PS15.15m in 2023. Based on the successful allocation of these funds, WMCA is now looking for programmes to fund under WAVE 4 of the Skills Bootcamp funding specifically for Retrofit, Logistics and Advanced Manufacturing and Engineering. WMCA is seeking providers to deliver bootcamps at levels 3-5 within the areas outlined above.
