Skills Bootcamps

  • This field must be completed for all Skills Bootcamps funded learning aims. It is completed with the contract reference number from the provider's Summary of Funding.

  • Where the contract reference number is stored in the Funding and Contracting Service this number will be in the format of 'SB-contract reference-deliverable code' or 'SBA-contract reference-deliverable code'. The contract reference prefix SBA is used for Pathway to Accelerated Apprenticeships rather than SB. The deliverable code will be after the contract reference following the second hyphen.

  • Where the contract reference number is stored in the Skills Bootcamps Contracts database for combined authorities, this number will be in the format of 'Prefix-UKPRN-Suffix'. The prefix is 'XSB', the UKPRN is the UKPRN of the Combined Authority and the Suffix is 7 characters which will be assigned to the contract when the details are entered by the Combined Authority. This value will increment from A000001 to A999999.
