DfE are currently proposing to launch a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) for a duration of up to 6 years with a value of approximately £1.5bn to support DfE's Skills Bootcamps. DfE is focusing on Skills Bootcamps within the wider adult skills agenda and envisages significant and regular requirements for the procurement of Skills Bootcamps. Therefore, DfE wishes to streamline the process and have a close and ongoing relationship with suppliers.

The Department for Education (DfE) is not guaranteeing or committing to any specific value. This PIN is for market engagement only. It does not signify the commencement of any procurement process and does not constitute any commitment by DfE.
