Description
Buckinghamshire Council has appointed organisations to an approved provider list to deliver innovative Skills Bootcamps across Buckinghamshire. Skills Bootcamps are part of the Government’s Lifetime Skills Guarantee, helping everyone gain skills for life. Buckinghamshire Council is planning to apply for up to an estimated £10.5 million funding over 3 years from the Department of Education to support learners through Skills Bootcamps. Skills Bootcamps are flexible training courses for adults aged 19 and over (subject to eligibility criteria). They last up to 16 weeks with a minimum of 60 hours of learning, enabling participants to complete training around work and other commitments, and are open for participants looking to gain work, wishing to upskill, or access new opportunities, and will offer a guaranteed job interview (in the case of a new job) to individual participants on completion of the course. The courses are open to adults who are full-time and part-time employed, unemployed or returning to work after a break or self-employed, to address the needs of employers and the wider economy, to deliver targeted interventions to meet short/medium term demand to fill vacancies and drive productivity. To find out more about the national programme and skills bootcamps go to https://find-employer-schemes.education.gov.uk/ The approved provider list has been set up to deliver skills bootcamps in Buckinghamshire across the following subject areas: Lot 1 – Digital Lot 2 – Construction Lot 3 - Green Skills Lot 4 – Engineering (e.g. Motor Vehicle Technician) Lot 5 – Creative Lot 6 - Business and Administration Lot 7 - Hospitality and Tourism Lot 8 - Education and Early Years These support interventions will help to support the upskilling of individuals between Level 2 to Level 3 with qualifications relevant to the sector and the job. The approved provider list will be in place for 3 years. It is anticipated that call-off contracts will be conducted annually from the list either by direct award or mini-competition. If additional funds become available during the year, the Council reserves the right to conduct a direct award or mini competition to allocate the additional funds. The estimated value of call-off contracts is £10,500,000 over 3 years. This figure is an estimate only and is subject to funding. It is based on the Councils application for funding for 2025-26 from the Department for Education to support learners through Skills Bootcamps. All contracts awarded under this opportunity will be subject to available budget and resource. The approved provider list was established under the Public Contract Regulation 2015 Light Touch Regime (LTR).
