Description

Skills Bootcamps are Government-funded initiatives designed to help businesses find and hire the workers they need; as well as supporting adults to flourish and fulfil their potential through high quality training.

Skills Bootcamps aim to secure benefits for adults by giving them access to in-demand skills training and a guaranteed interview for a more sustainable, higher-skilled job and higher wages over time. The benefits for employers include helping them fill specific skills shortage vacancies, enabling them to become more productive, more quickly.

Skills Bootcamps are intensive, generally Level 3-5 or equivalent flexible training courses up to 16 weeks, with a guaranteed job interview (in the case of a new job), which equip adults with technical skills that enable them to access in-demand jobs, apprenticeships, new opportunities and an increased level of income over time (including for the self-employed).

In Wave 3, the following lot areas are being focused on:

Digital Core
Digital Bespoke
Technical Core
Technical Bespoke
Construction
Green Skills
Logistics
Pathways to Accelerated Apprenticeships

Skills Bootcamps should be open to all adults aged 19 or over, who are full-time or part-time employed, self-employed, unemployed, as well as adults returning to work after a break. Skills Bootcamps should also be open to serving prisoners due to be released within 6 months of completion of a Skills Bootcamp and those on Temporary Release.

Level 2 or equivalent Skills Bootcamps can only be delivered in Construction, Green Skills and Logistics as a minimum. All training must either be accredited, aligned to occupational standards managed by the Institute for Apprenticeship & Technical Education or utilise a recognised standard for representing attainment (e.g. RARPA, SFIA).

We expect the courses on offer to be a minimum of 60 Guided Learning Hours and a maximum of 16 weeks.

Providers should provide a 'wraparound service' of learner support, from programme application stage, during, and post programme, to move people into jobs/new roles and opportunities. This should include upfront screening of applicants, soft skills or work readiness training to support the occupational skills training, vacancy/role/opportunity identification, providing pastoral services to help participants complete the programme.

Provision may be delivered remotely online or face to face or a blended approach and suppliers should provide a clear rationale for their chosen method of delivery.

Training must either be accredited, aligned to occupational standards managed by the Institute for Apprenticeship & Technical Education or utilise a recognised standard for representing attainment (e.g. RARPA, SFIA).

This tender is open to one or more training providers registered on the UK Register of Learning Providers and employer/s or employer bodies.

Tenders should be submitted in Word or PDF format and should not exceed 15 pages, by e-mail to natasha.waller@newanglia.co.uk.
