Skills Bootcamps

Cornwall Council · Transparency notice on Find a Tender

Tender information last checkedLast checked 30 Sept 2026, 02:09.

Opportunity overview

Skills Bootcamps provide bespoke training to bridge existing skills gaps within high demand industry sectors, to support rapid training into higher-paid and sustainable job roles for sectors with evidenced vacancies From April 2025, Cornwall Council will act as the accountable body for the delivery of Skills Bootcamps under a grant agreement funded by the Department for Education as part of the National Skills Fund. This notice relates to the direct award of a four-month contract (April to July 2025) for the continued delivery of Skills Bootcamps by existing training providers who were previously contracted under a Devon County Council-led programme (in which Cornwall Council was a collaborator). These providers have since been re-contracted by Devon County Council and will now deliver under Cornwall Council's contract.

Why this procedure was chosen
Direct awards justified pursuant to Schedule 5 paragraph 13 on the basis that the services to be supplied are necessary for reasons of unavoidable urgency as confirmation of the Skills Bootcamps grant award was only received by the Cornwall Council on 20th February 2025 which meant that the contracts to commence in April 2025 could not be awarded on the basis of a competitive tendering procedure.
