Description
Devon County Council (DCC) is the accountable body managing the delivery of Department for Education (DfE) 'Skills for Life' Skills Bootcamps across the Greater Devon area. Subject to DfE confirmation of Wave 6 funding [Financial Year 2025/26], DCC will be launching an Invitation to Tender (ITT) for a contract to deliver industry led skills bootcamps to help meet in-demand skills needs across National and Local Priority Sectors.
Skills Bootcamps offer a wide range of short (2 to 16 weeks), intensive (Level 2-5) and flexibly delivered courses (in person, hybrid and online, weekdays, evenings and weekends). Skills bootcamps are available to adults (subject to DfE eligibility rules) and are designed to
enable employers to upskill employees and to support individuals gain key skills to access to
new employment opportunities.
The Authority anticipates launching the ITT before the end of March 2025, conducted under
the Procurement Act 2023. Due to this, suppliers will be required to register on the Central Digital Platform (CDP) from February 24th, 2025, when the new Procurement Act comes into force, in preparation for this procurement.
The ITT will be launched on the Procurement Portal https://www.supplyingthesouthwest.org.uk. Interested providers should ensure they are registered on the portal in preparation for the ITT launch.
The Authority plans to conduct a market engagement event one week after the ITT is launched. Details regarding this event will be provided in the Tender Notice and ITT once published.
