Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process concerns the UK Shared Business Services Limited, which aimed to establish the "Early Careers Residential Based Learning programme." This initiative falls under the category of staff training services and was set to take place in South East England. The tender was initiated through an open procurement method, albeit the proposal was eventually abandoned before a contract award decision could be made. The tender period originally ended on 8 January 2016, while the contract was intended to commence on 29 January 2016 and last until 28 January 2019, with a focus on practical leadership and management skills development for graduates and apprentices.

This tender presents an opportunity primarily for training and educational service providers that specialise in leadership and team development. Businesses that offer tailored learning experiences, particularly those able to deliver programmes adaptable for various fitness and ability levels, would be well-suited to compete. Given the abandonment of the tender, organisations with strong capabilities in executing residential training programmes, especially within accessible locations in relation to South Oxfordshire, could benefit from future opportunities emerging from similar initiatives by UK SBS.
