Decision details

Greater Manchester Skills Bootcamps Wave 4: Bus Driver Training

Decision Maker: Treasurer GMCA

Decision status: For Determination

Is Key decision?: Yes

Is subject to call in?: Yes

Purpose:

Due to the contract performing well, high demand for the training/a high number of unfilled vacancies in the sector and the identified underspend within adult skills, the decision was made to extend the contract for a further 12 months and increase the value.




Decision:

Following a competitive procurement process using GMCA’s Education Work and Skills Flexible Procurement System, GMCA awarded a contract to Realise Training for the delivery of a Bus Driver Skills Bootcamp.

GMCA have since made the decision to extend the contract for an additional 12 months, which was allowed for in the original procurement process and governance.

In addition, the contract value is being increased due to underspend and demand. The contract was originally £499,520 for the initial period and had a value of £999,040 including the extension.

The total contract value will now be £1,499,520 including the increase in value.
