When this comes round again

Herefordshire Council publishes Education & Training work continuously — 62 notices, roughly one every 21 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

48% of Herefordshire Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

The brief

Herefordshire Council is undertaking preliminary market engagement to inform the future commissioning and development of Skills Bootcamp provision within Herefordshire.

The Council is seeking information from training providers, further and higher education providers, employers, employer representative organisations and other stakeholders.

Skills Bootcamps are flexible, employer-led training programmes designed to help adults develop sector-specific skills that lead to employment, progression within work, apprenticeships, self-employment or higher-skilled job opportunities.

Through this Request for Information (RFI), the Council wishes to better understand the current market, existing provision, delivery models, provider capacity, employer engagement approaches and emerging skills needs across the county.

Responses will inform the future design of Skills Bootcamp provision, procurement strategy and commissioning approach.

The Council is particularly interested in provision that demonstrates strong employer engagement, delivers clear routes into employment, supports local economic growth priorities, addresses workforce shortages and improves opportunities for residents facing barriers to employment.

This notice relates to preliminary market engagement only and does not constitute a call for competition or the commencement of a procurement process.

ApprenticeshipsPolicies & commitments
Skills Bootcamps are flexible, employer-led training programmes designed to help adults develop sector-specific skills that lead to employment, progression within work, apprenticeships, self-employment or higher-skilled job opportunities.

Matched against the notice text, so this is a floor — the tender pack will demand things the notice never mentions. “Says must” means the quoted sentence itself used obligation language; anything ambiguous is left as a mention.
