## Summary

Somerset Council commissioned adult education and training services to deliver Skills Bootcamps. The training is intended for learners in Somerset and Dorset and must be delivered in line with the Department for Education grant funding agreement. The requirement is for a training provider to deliver bootcamp programmes, rather than for the supply of equipment or construction work. Yeovil College is the selected provider for this arrangement. The procurement therefore indicates demand for providers able to design and deliver adult skills training across the two counties, working within the terms of a government-funded bootcamp programme.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Yeovil College on 20 October 2026. The award is valued at £37,000 excluding VAT (£44,400 including VAT). The contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. This was a below-threshold direct award without competition. The procurement was arranged as one lot, covering delivery of Skills Bootcamps under the Department for Education grant funding agreement. The award is active; the supplied information does not report a contract signature or completion.

For providers considering comparable future requirements from Somerset Council, this award is evidence of a defined market for adult skills training delivered through Skills Bootcamps in Somerset and Dorset. A credible competitor would need the capacity to deliver training across the required geography and the expertise to provide relevant adult education programmes in accordance with the Department for Education grant funding agreement. Experience of delivering funded training to agreed programme requirements would be relevant to demonstrating that capability. The direct-award route used here also shows that this particular arrangement was placed without competition, so the award does not establish a competitive evaluation model or criteria for supplier selection.
