## Summary

East Sussex County Council, a public authority at the sub-central government level, recently completed a procurement process for the "Skills Bootcamps - Early Years" initiative.

Suppliers are required to deliver key milestones by 31st March 2027, with the third milestone to be achieved by 30th September 2027.
