Somerset Council, a public authority at the sub-central government level, has successfully completed a procurement process for the "DfE Training Ai for Bus" contract, awarded to Bournemouth and Poole College. This tender involves user choice training services funded by the Department for Education, aimed at adult and other education sectors, as well as broader training services. The procurement utilised a direct method below the competition threshold and took place in Taunton, within the UK region. The contract was awarded on 30 May 2025, and it is scheduled to run from 1 June 2025 to 31 March 2026, with a total gross value of £118,800.
