Overview

West Yorkshire Combined Authority will shortly be tendering for a training provider to deliver Level 3 Skills Booster programmes for West Yorkshire residents. We are seeking to procure a high-quality, Level 3 accredited and employer-endorsed training provision that aligns with the needs of employers and the wider economy.

The provision should deliver targeted interventions to address short- to medium-term skills shortages, supporting vacancy fulfilment and driving productivity. It must actively reduce barriers to access and promote equality, enabling participants* to progress into higher-skilled, well-paid employment, while increasing engagement from under-represented groups in education and training.

Training will be available across the West Yorkshire region, unless there is a call to support a specific region or cohort. We are seeking to commission a suite of Level 3 courses across 2 Lots.
