## Summary

The Department for Education has awarded contracts under the title "Skills Bootcamps DPS Call off Competition 1: Digital" to multiple suppliers. The procurement stage was selective, with a contract value of £42,226,803.21GBP. The contract period is from 1st September 2023 to 31st August 2024. The procurement method was a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The industry category is education and training services, covering regions such as North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and more. The tender period ended on 24th February 2023.

This public procurement process represents opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the education and training sector. The contract involves a range of large-scale suppliers suitable for handling such services. Businesses eligible for the Skills Bootcamp initiative can support unemployed, employed, and self-employed adults in acquiring in-demand technical skills. The procurement method ensures that a dynamic and diverse pool of suppliers can contribute to the delivery of these services across various regions in the United Kingdom.

## Notice

Skills Bootcamps offer flexible, primarily level 3 - 5 equivalent courses of up to 16 weeks in technical skills which are free to eligible adult learners. They give adults the opportunity to build up in-demand, sector-specific skills and fast-track to an interview with an employer - supporting adults to move into well-paid jobs and helping employers to fill much-needed vacancies. Unemployed, employed and self-employed adults can be eligible for a Skills Bootcamp; they can be used to support an unemployed person into a job, an employed adult into a different job in another organisation or to gain another role or other responsibilities in the same organisation, or a self-employed adult to gain new opportunities. They also support groups such as those returning to work after a break, ex-veterans and eligible prisoners within 6 months of release. There is a clear expectation that employers are involved in the whole end-to-end delivery of Skills Bootcamps; and where an employer is using a Skills Bootcamp to train up a current employee, they must contribute towards the costs of the Skills Bootcamp. The Dynamic Purchasing System was launched in November 2022, and the first competition launched shortly afterwards. This Contract Award Notice is for the contracts awarded under the digital category.
