The DPS offers free technical skills courses to adult learners aiming to secure well-paid jobs. The procurement stage has reached the Contract Award Notice phase where contracts have been awarded under the Digital category, involving employer engagement throughout the process. Key dates and deadlines are based on the launch of the DPS in November 2022. This opportunity for business growth in the Digital category of the Skills Bootcamps DPS is ideal for businesses involved in education and training services. Companies offering sector-specific skills development or employer engagement services are well-suited to compete in this procurement process, which aims to support unemployed, employed, and self-employed adults in gaining valuable skills for the job market. With a focus on employer collaboration and job placement, participating businesses can contribute to upskilling the workforce and filling industry demand for skilled workers. ## 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. This Contract Award Notice is for the contracts awarded under the Digital category. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Skills Bootcamps DPS : Education and Childcare : Second call off competition Lot 2 Skills Bootcamps DPS : Business and Administration : Second call off competition Lot 3 Skills Bootcamps DPS : Sales, Marketing and Procurement : Second call off competition Lot 4 Skills Bootcamps DPS : Sales, Marketing and Procurement : Second call off competition Lot 5 Skills Bootcamps DPS : Transport and Logistics : Second call off competition Lot 6 Skills Bootcamps DPS : Transport and Logistics : Second call off competition Lot 7 Skills Bootcamps DPS : Transport and Logistics : Second call off competition Lot 8 Skills Bootcamps DPS : Transport and Logistics : Second call off competition Lot 9 Skills Bootcamps DPS : Transport and Logistics : Second call off competition ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/012145-2024 | | Notice type | Planning Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic, Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Selective | | Procurement method details | Restricted procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large, SME | | All stages | Planning, Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 15 Apr 2024 | | Submission deadline | 20 Nov 2028 | | Future notice date | 31 Oct 2022 | | Award date | 31 Aug 2023 | | Contract period | 21 Nov 2022 - 20 Nov 2028 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £1,500,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £292,648,812 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Cancelled | | Awards status | Active, Unsuccessful | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR EDUCATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3BT | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 105 | | Supplier names | 1ST2 ACHIEVE TRAINING; ABP SCHOOL OF AUTOMATION; AIM 2 LEARN; BACK 2 WORK COMPLETE TRAINING; BOCK CONSULTANCY & PERSONNEL DEVELOPMENT; BREAKTHROUGH SOCIAL ENTERPRISE; BRIDGEWAY CONSULTING; CAMBRIDGE SPARK; CAPSLOCK EDUCATION; CAREY GROUP; CENIT GROUP; CLANCY DOCWRA; COGRAMMAR; CORE AI; CORECOM TECHNOLOGY ACADEMY; CREATIVE PROCESS DIGITAL; DATA AND MARKETING ASSOCIATION; DAVIES LEARNING SOLUTIONS; DIAMOND PEOPLE (NE; DULSON TRAINING; E-TRAINING; EDUCATION DEVELOPMENT TRUST; ENTERPRISE4ALL (NORTH WEST; ESSEX COUNTY COUNCIL; FAREPORT TRAINING ORGANISATION; FEARLESS ADVENTURES; FIREBRAND TRAINING; FOCUS TRAINING (SW; FOUNDERS & CODERS; FTW TRAINING; GATESHEAD COLLEGE; GENERATION: YOU EMPLOYED; GENII ENGINEERING & TECHNOLOGY TRAINING; GLOBAL SKILLS TRAINING; GLOUCESTERSHIRE COLLEGE; GREENDALE; GTG TRAINING; HANDS ON SKILLS TRAINING; HGV TRAINING SERVICES; HUGHES DRIVER TRAINING; HYBRID TECHNICAL SERVICES; IMPACT FUTURES TRAINING; IN4.0 GROUP; INTERTRAIN; INVOLVED SOCIAL IMPACT PROJECTS; IUNGO SOLUTIONS; J G W TRAINING; J.N.
