Work with us to deliver Skills Bootcamps

Cheshire and Warrington LEP have been awarded £1.2 million for the financial year 2023/24 (Wave 4) from the Department for Education to deliver Skills Bootcamps to over 350 learners in Cheshire and Warrington. 

We have launched our Wave 4 open framework application process, and are open to receiving bids of any potential scale, until the end of 2023 (December). However, there are distinct points within the year where we will consider all proposals received and will make allocation decisions based on available funds and the grant award criteria. 

The open framework application process is a two-stage process: 

• Stage 1: seeking a decision in principle 
• Stage 2: detailed application seeking a funding allocation 

Below are the deadlines for applications and the associated expected learner start dates: 

Cheshire and Warrington LEP are looking to offer Skills Bootcamps in the following areas: 

• Digital 
• Technical 
• Construction 
• Green Skills 
• Pathway to accelerated apprenticeships 
• Other - We are also open to receive applications looking to pilot an alternative Skills Bootcamp area, subject to strong local employer demand and support, as well as strong alignment to our Local Data and Labour Market Intelligence.
