## Summary

Somerset Council commissioned training-provider delivery of Skills Bootcamps in Somerset and Dorset, under the Department for Education grant funding agreement. The work is adult and other education services, intended to deliver Skills Bootcamps in the two named areas. The published scope does not identify particular courses, learner numbers or delivery venues, so the requirement is best understood as a provider agreement to deliver bootcamp training across the specified geography rather than a defined course list. The award records Somerset as the delivery location; Dorset is also included in the overall description of the commissioned service. The buyer is Somerset Council, based in Taunton.

The procurement is complete and was awarded directly without competition, using a below-threshold route. Shoots Training Limited was selected for the single lot. The award date was 19 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The awarded value is £26,400 excluding VAT (£31,680 including VAT). The stated basis for the arrangement is delivery of Skills Bootcamps within Somerset and Dorset in accordance with the Department for Education grant funding agreement. No separate evaluation criteria are recorded. The award is active; the contract record does not establish whether it has been signed or completed.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to be an adult training provider able to deliver Skills Bootcamps across Somerset and Dorset and to work within the Department for Education grant funding agreement. Relevant delivery capability and the capacity to serve the specified geography are central to the recorded requirement. The award demonstrates that Somerset Council uses a direct, below-threshold route for this service and selected Shoots Training Limited, a training company. Providers with experience delivering comparable bootcamp training and managing delivery to grant-funding requirements would be well placed to compete if the requirement returns. The available scope gives no particular subject specialism, learner volume, qualification or accreditation requirement, so credibility should rest on demonstrated bootcamp delivery relevant to the council’s stated programme rather than assumed technical conditions.
