Microsoft sued by Australia competition regulator over Copilot, 365 pricing
LONDON - Northcoders Group plc (AIM:CODE), a UK technology training company, has secured a £0.25 million contract under the Skills Bootcamps for Londoners Programme managed by the Greater London Authority.
The contract will fund 31 bootcamp seats in Software Development with AI, aimed at developing advanced digital skills to address technology talent demand in London, according to a company press release statement.
Northcoders plans to use the contract to support the expansion of Counter, its B2B consultancy division, into the London market. The company has begun searching for a commercial leader to oversee Counter’s growth in the region.
The contract award follows the company’s strategic decision to be selective with government-funded training bootcamps, using them specifically to create a talent pipeline for its consultancy business. This approach was adopted after the government shifted from national to regional funding models.
"We are delighted to secure our first GLA contract and begin our partnership with the Skills Bootcamps for Londoners Programme," said Chris Hill, CEO of Northcoders. "This award reflects both the reputation we have built for delivery excellence and the trust of government stakeholders in our capability."
The company stated that its Counter division will offer competitive pricing intended to challenge both nearshore and offshore alternatives in the London market.
