## Summary

Somerset Council commissioned adult education and vocational training through its Skills Bootcamps programme. The requirement is to deliver training-provider services in Somerset and Dorset under the Department for Education grant funding agreement. The awarded service is identified as carpentry training, within adult and other education services. The contracting process covers one lot, and Yeovil College was selected to deliver the service. For providers, the key fit is the ability to deliver practical carpentry skills training as part of a Skills Bootcamp and to operate across the stated Somerset and Dorset geography.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Yeovil College by Somerset Council. The council used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition. The award date was 20 October 2026. The contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The award value is £30,000 excluding VAT (£36,000 including VAT). The opportunity was structured as one lot, covering carpentry training delivery. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are set out in the published process data.

This award shows demand from Somerset Council for Skills Bootcamp delivery, specifically practical carpentry training for adults across Somerset and Dorset. A credible provider for a similar requirement would need the teaching capability and facilities to deliver vocational carpentry training, and the capacity to serve learners across the stated area. Experience delivering adult or other education services, and the ability to work within the Department for Education’s Skills Bootcamps grant-funding arrangements, would be relevant. The selected provider was Yeovil College, a large education supplier. The award was made directly without competition, so this outcome does not demonstrate how suppliers would be assessed in a competitive procurement; it does show the type of training service and delivery geography bought by this council.
