Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) looked to procure Skills Bootcamps delivery for June 2024 - End of March 2025. For the purpose of this procurement exercise, we looked to commission four projects with a maximum contract value of £375,000 each. The key objectives of skills bootcamps in GM are to: - Address the needs of employers to fill skills shortage vacancies requiring specialist/technical skills and improve business productivity. - Address the needs of adults to retrain and upskill whatever their starting point. Providing clear line of sight to a new role / opportunity / contract. - Diversifying the talent pipeline by targeting groups facing disadvantage in the labour market and underrepresented in key sectors. This opportunity was commissioned as a further competition/call off from the Education, Work and Skills Flexible Procurement System.
