Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (OxLEP) are inviting responses to an opportunity relating to the delivery of the ‘Skills Bootcamps’ programme, which aims to support residents in the county to acquire new skills and – in turn – a pathway to employment.
OxLEP did not appoint a provider to run the Digital Analytics Skills Bootcamp in its previous procurement and this Bootcamp is therefore being reprocured. OxLEP Skills anticipates that the Skills Bootcamps will be operational by January 2025, with all learner starts by 31st March 2025. The maximum budget for the Digital Analytics Skills Bootcamp is £280,000. The deadline to submit tender applications is Monday, 11th November 2024 at midday.
The Skills Bootcamps programme – part of the Department for Education’s ‘Skills for Life’ activity – is being led in Oxfordshire by OxLEP Skills.
OxLEP Skills is managing the £1.7million Skills Bootcamps programme across Oxfordshire, collaborating with procured partners to deliver training.
Sally Andreou – Skills Hub Manager at OxLEP – said: “We are delighted to have secured funding to deliver such a vital programme of activity for Oxfordshire communities, helping to boost the employability of our residents.
“From those potentially disengaged with the labour market through to those over the age of 50 looking to reskill in a new area, our Skills Bootcamps are set to have a real impact on the employment opportunities of our residents at a critical economic time both locally and nationally.”
