***Please note that this is the revised procurement opportunity that follows on from the recently abandoned procurement exercise (previously YORtender ID: 102350, UK4 Tender Notice Identifier: 2025/S 000-048219)***
The Borough Council of Calderdale invites you to submit a Quote for the provision of short-term training courses (Skills Bootcamps) resulting in formal qualifications and employment opportunities for the unemployed and underemployed, including guaranteed interviews, employment support and active engagement with local employers.

It allows individuals to access higher-level employment opportunities or progression within their current employment.
