Published requirement description

The Authority is reopening the existing Skills Bootcamps Pseudo framework agreement. This is to allow new Learning Organisations an opportunity to submit a bid to be appointed to the framework.

Existing framework Learning Organisations do not need to reapply to be appointed to the framework.

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

Skills Bootcamps are free, flexible courses of up to 16 weeks for adults aged 19 + who are either in work, self-employed, or unemployed.

Skills Bootcamps aim to secure benefits for adults aged 19+ 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.
