What the notice says

Please note: This is not a call for competition and does not form part of any procurement process. Shropshire Council is exploring the commissioning of DWP Skills Bootcamp delivery across a range of priority sectors to support residents into employment and help employers address local skills shortages. The Council is undertaking preliminary market engagement to better understand provider capacity, delivery models and market appetite before determining the final procurement approach. The information gathered will inform the development of the specification, lot structure and procurement strategy. Skills Bootcamps are flexible training programmes designed to help adults develop sector-specific skills that are in demand by employers. They typically support learners to gain new skills, progress into employment, or advance within their current role. Skills Bootcamps are developed in partnership with employers to help address local workforce needs and skills shortages.
