Skills Bootcamps in Education and Early Years

Delivery of Skills Bootcamps in Education and Early Years to 44 learners in total, specifically: • Level 3 Early Years and Childminding Skills Bootcamps to 31 learners • Level 3 Teaching Assistant Skills Bootcamps to 13 learners Originally awarded provider no longer able to provide our requirements. We therefore have an urgent need to reallocate funding to safeguard provision for existing learners and ensure delivery within the contracted timeframe. There is insufficient time to run a full competitive procurement process without risking disruption to learners and failure to achieve agreed outcomes. A direct award allows mobilisation to begin immediately, ensuring continuity and value for money.
