## Summary

Somerset Council commissioned education and training services to deliver Skills Bootcamps for learners in Somerset and Dorset. The programme is intended to provide skills training under the Department for Education grant funding agreement. The awarded service is adult and other education, with delivery across Somerset and Dorset. The procurement is a single package rather than separate lots, and the named provider is Yeovil College. This requirement concerns training provision in the two counties, not general education services across other areas.

The procurement is complete and the award was made to Yeovil College on 20 October 2026. Somerset Council used a direct award without competition, under a below-threshold procedure. The award value is £47,880 excluding VAT (£57,456 including VAT). The contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The contract covers one lot for Skills Bootcamps delivery under the Department for Education grant funding agreement. No evaluation criteria are recorded for this direct award.

For providers considering similar Skills Bootcamps work for Somerset Council, the award indicates demand for adult training delivered across both Somerset and Dorset under a Department for Education funding agreement. A credible provider would need to demonstrate the ability to deliver relevant vocational skills training across both counties and operate within the requirements of the grant-funded programme. Yeovil College’s selection shows that a further education college was considered suitable for this delivery. Providers should be prepared to manage a defined, time-limited programme rather than assume a continuing service, and to demonstrate the local reach and delivery capacity needed to serve learners in both areas.
