The Department for Education awarded contracts to multiple suppliers, including AIM 2 LEARN LTD, CAMBRIDGE SPARK LIMITED, CENIT GROUP LIMITED, COGRAMMAR LTD, CORE AI LIMITED, CREATIVE PROCESS DIGITAL LTD, FIREBRAND TRAINING LIMITED, FOUNDERS & CODERS C.I.C., and GENERATION: YOU EMPLOYED, UK, for the delivery of Skills Bootcamps in the digital category.

These bootcamps offer flexible, primarily level 3-5 equivalent courses of up to 16 weeks in technical skills, free to eligible adult learners, to help them build in-demand, sector-specific skills and fast-track to interviews with employers.

The contracts support unemployed, employed, and self-employed adults, as well as groups such as those returning to work, ex-veterans, and eligible prisoners within 6 months of release.

Employers are expected to be involved in the end-to-end delivery, and where training current employees, they must contribute towards costs.

The contracts were awarded under the Dynamic Purchasing System launched in November 2022, with a total value of £42,226,803.21.
