## Summary

Somerset Council commissioned adult education and training services through Skills Bootcamps delivery agreements. The provider is to deliver Skills Bootcamps in Somerset and Dorset, in line with the Department for Education grant funding agreement. This is a training-provider requirement focused on delivering skills courses to learners across the two counties. The work is classified as adult and other education services. Yeovil College was selected to deliver the service.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded directly to Yeovil College without competition under a below-threshold procedure. The award date was 20 October 2026. The awarded value is £48,100 excluding VAT (£57,720 including VAT). The contract period runs from 20 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. The procurement was arranged as one lot. The award is active. The stated basis for delivery is the Department for Education grant funding agreement; no separate evaluation criteria are recorded.

This award shows that Somerset Council uses delivery agreements with training providers to deliver Skills Bootcamps across Somerset and Dorset, aligned with Department for Education grant requirements. A provider seeking to compete for comparable work would need the capability to design and deliver relevant skills training across both counties and to meet the requirements of the grant funding agreement. The awarded supplier was Yeovil College, an established large education provider, indicating that the buyer selected a provider with an existing training operation. Suppliers with the operational reach to serve learners across the area and experience delivering adult education would be best placed to demonstrate credibility when this specific training requirement next arises. The arrangement was made directly rather than through a competition.»}
