Published requirement description

Using Government funding, provided by the Department for Education, Suffolk County Council (SCC) have appointed a selection of learning and training providers to deliver a range of Skills Bootcamps across a Norfolk and Suffolk geography during the financial year 2025/26.

SCC are the contract holders and, working closely alongside Norfolk County Council, are acting as a consortium for ongoing programme development, monitoring and reporting throughout the year to ensure that delivery meets and addresses local needs as well as the funding criteria and requirements of the Department for Education.

The Norfolk and Suffolk Skills Bootcamp Programme will provide a range of training courses aligned directly with the recruitment and skills needs of employers.

Please note, the contract values shown below include the optional 12-month extension periods. Each extension is subject to the satisfactory performance of the relevant supplier and the availability of funding.

Although the contract values are stated both excluding and including VAT, not all suppliers are VAT registered, and in some cases the services may be VAT exempt (for eligible bodies).

  • The authority expects to re-tender this requirement around 2 Jan 2026, 23:59 GMT.

How bids were scored
Lot distribution rule: There is no limit on how many lots each Tenderer can bid for and/or be awarded. The Tenderer with the lowest Price per Quality Point (PQP) for each lot will, providing they meet the minimum quality thresholds and that we are able to proceed, be awarded a contract. Where possible, additional awards will be made in each lot - subject to minimum quality thresholds being met, the availability of funding, and alignment with the Department for Education priority programmes highlighted in the tender documentation. In doing so, we will look to ensure there is sufficient coverage across the total geographical area of both Norfolk and Suffolk.

Review and risk notes
Risks

Suffolk County Council has joined the government's Devolution Priority Programme.

This process has the potential to lead to the establishment of a county combined authority for Norfolk and Suffolk, with strategic powers, headed by an elected mayor. A consultation is under way. Government has also invited participation by Suffolk in Local Government Review. This process has the potential to lead to unitary local government in Suffolk. One of these changes could happen without the other. This risk is declared as a known risk as we do not yet understand the implications of that potential re-organisation.

The contract may be assigned or novated or otherwise transferred to any successor authority(ies) to Suffolk County Council or to any joint body incorporating or formed by any such successor. The County Council or a successor authority or joint body may order services on behalf of other local authorities serving any area within Suffolk's current geographical boundaries. Impacts may also include modifications to the contract.

In addition, our Preliminary Market Engagement also highlighted the risk of external factors including policy changes and/or evolving standards during the course of delivery, which require curriculum adjustments. Awarded contract(s) may require amendment/modification due to this risk.

    The grant we have received from the Department for Education has been increased by ~100% in 2025/6 (£4.1 million) compared to 2024/5 (£2.2 million).

    Suffolk County Council (SCC) is committed to ensuring fairness, openness and transparency in line with the objectives in Section 12 of the Procurement Act 2023.

    It is the current intention of SCC to appoint providers with relevant experience and who can demonstrate that they can deliver a range of Skills Bootcamps supporting three overarching themes and lots:

    • Developing Talent for Infrastructure
    • Developing Talent for Technology Application and Convergence
    • Developing Talent to underpin Growth and Employment

    To support our procurement activity and develop the potential range of providers, we are undertaking Preliminary Market Engagement (PME) to help SCC:

    1] identify an increased range of training providers that may be able to deliver Skills Bootcamps in 2025/26

    2] understand capacity among providers in the region for potential future years of Skills Bootcamps

    3] understand potential barriers for SMEs and opportunities to minimise some of these barriers

    We will used the ‘Central Digital Platform’ to promote the PME, alongside our current channels including the Norfolk and Suffolk Skills Hub, LinkedIn, SCC and NCC website.

    To express an interest in this opportunity, and to access/view the PME briefing pack, please register your details for Suffolk Sourcing and “opt in” to the project at in-tendhost.co.uk/suffolksourcing/aspx… ↗

    If you would like to provide initial feedback on this opportunity, we would kindly request that you fill in the following questionnaire ideally by 6th May 2025:

    forms.office.com/e/YHdRvCsirW ↗

    Any information gathered as part of this exercise may be used in the development of our requirements and our approach to the procurement.

    The PME briefing pack and any Q&A generated in response to the PME will be made available to all as part of any subsequent tender documentation. This will ensure that those participating in PME are not put an unfair advantage. This will also enable us to mitigate the risk of distortion of competition.

    We would also strongly encourage providers who are interested in this opportunity to register for the new Central Digital Platform, following the guidance at the following web address:

    shorturl.at/kigPg ↗

    Please note, this is required even if you have historically had an account with the ‘Find a Tender’ service.
