Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office has successfully completed a public procurement process for a two-day training course titled "Design and Implementation of a Two-Day Course on Winning Public Sector Contracts Colombia." This initiative aims to support UK companies interested in securing public sector contracts within Colombia, focusing particularly on the municipal, departmental, or national levels. The training is scheduled to be conducted in Bogota on 20 and 21 November 2017, just before the Colombian Infrastructure Congress taking place from 22 to 24 November 2017. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, with the tender period having ended on 17 September 2017, and the contract period running from 29 September to 15 December 2017.

This tender offers valuable opportunities for UK businesses, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to enhance their understanding of public procurement processes in Colombia. By obtaining specialised training, businesses can improve their capacity to compete for public sector contracts in a growing market. Companies involved in consultancy services, training, and those looking to expand their operations into new international markets would be particularly well-suited to engage in this opportunity.
