## Summary

The Norfolk and Suffolk Skills Bootcamps Wave 6, for the financial year 2025/26, hosted by Suffolk County Council in collaboration with Norfolk County Council, has been successfully awarded contracts under the classification of education and training services. The procurement process involved an open procedure and has already reached the award and contract stage, with agreements signed from November 2025 and extending until September 2026. These contracts, valued above £6120000, cater to regions UKH14 to UKH17 across the United Kingdom. They encompass a range of skills training aimed at addressing the recruitment and skills needs of employers throughout Norfolk and Suffolk, backed by government funding from the Department for Education. This programme focuses on sectors like infrastructure, technology, and growth-oriented employment, ensuring a comprehensive development of local talents.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specializing in education and skills training, particularly SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) and VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) organisations. The flexible structure, allowing contracts to be extended by up to 12 months based on satisfactory performance, emphasizes potential for long-term partnerships. Companies adept in areas such as digital innovation, infrastructure maintenance, and core employment skills are ideally suited to engage, given the alignment of the bootcamp programmes with critical regional economic sectors. Furthermore, business entities capable of offering tailored training aligned with employer needs stand to benefit in contributing towards bridging the skills gap, thus fostering substantial growth and sustainability in the regional labour market.

## Notice

Using Government funding, provided by the Department for Education, Suffolk County Council (SCC) have appointed a selection of learning and training providers to deliver a range of Skills Bootcamps across a Norfolk and Suffolk geography during the financial year 2025/26. SCC are the contract holders and, working closely alongside Norfolk County Council, are acting as a consortium for ongoing programme development, monitoring and reporting throughout the year to ensure that delivery meets and addresses local needs as well as the funding criteria and requirements of the Department for Education. The Norfolk and Suffolk Skills Bootcamp Programme will provide a range of training courses aligned directly with the recruitment and skills needs of employers. Please note, the contract values shown below include the optional 12-month extension periods. Each extension is subject to the satisfactory performance of the relevant supplier and the availability of funding. Although the contract values are stated both excluding and including VAT, not all suppliers are VAT registered, and in some cases the services may be VAT exempt (for eligible bodies).
