Description

The purpose of this Prior Information Notice is to advertise this future opportunity and inform the market that, it is the Department for Education's intention to carry out a procurement exercise to provide Skills Bootcamps to increase the delivery of HGV driver training and licences to create a pipeline of 'road-ready' individuals to fill vacancies in the road haulage industry. Skills Bootcamps aim to secure benefits for adults aged 19+ by giving them access to in demand skills training and a guaranteed interview with a local employer. The aim is to enable the learner to secure a more sustainable job and higher wages over time. Employers benefit from filling skills shortage vacancies and so becoming more productive, more quickly. Learning and evaluation from these initiatives will inform the development of the National Skills Fund (link contained in the attachment).

Other Information

The objective is to award through competition, contractual agreements to one or more Suppliers to facilitate HGV driver coverage, providing training for up to 3000 participants. Suppliers must deliver the full process from recruitment of learners, through the entire training and licensing process required to become an HGV Driver. This will include components such as medical, tests and licences. We are seeking fully skilled, Skills Bootcamp participants ready to move into HGV driver positions. As a supplier you will engage with employers in the industry to secure interviews for your graduates and support them to perform well (or your own organisation in the case of employers training their own employees or training potential new recruits).
