## Summary

Somerset Council procured adult education and training services through Skills Bootcamps delivery agreements. The selected provider is to deliver Skills Bootcamps in Somerset and Dorset, in line with the Department for Education grant funding agreement. The work is for training providers delivering the bootcamp offer across those areas. The procurement is for services, specifically adult and other education, rather than goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Professional Apprenticeships Ltd on 19 October 2026. Somerset Council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The procurement had one lot. The award value is £42,000 excluding VAT and £50,400 including VAT. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The stated purpose and delivery requirements are tied to the Department for Education grant funding agreement; no separate evaluation basis is recorded.

This award shows demand from Somerset Council for providers able to deliver Skills Bootcamps across Somerset and Dorset within the requirements of a Department for Education grant funding agreement. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need practical capacity to provide adult training across both areas and to deliver the bootcamp offer in accordance with the funding agreement. Relevant experience in adult education and the ability to organise delivery across the specified geography would be directly pertinent. The route used for this purchase was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so the award also indicates that this particular requirement was not competed openly.
