Notice Title

L&D Training provision - Project Management Tender Phase 1 ITT - AWARD

Notice Description

This tender is split into two Lots and providers can submit a proposal for one or more Lots. Lot 1 is for Project Management training at different levels but does not require a recognised industry assessment or qualification. Lot 2 is for recognised industry standard qualification in Project Management. Each Lot will be provided by a single supplier, with services being called off when required, up to the value stated in the contract advertisement over the 3 year period. Suppliers who wish to apply for more than one lot should provide additional information and assurance on how they would ensure quality and consistency of delivery as well as how they would ensure capacity to deliver all requirements. Lot 1 - Project Management Project Management has always been key to delivering Historic England's work. Project Management (PM) skills can be beneficial in many roles outside of official project management roles. The Programmes Team in Historic England have developed guidance and tools for managing small and medium size projects. The guidance is influenced by Prince2 and the APM approach. We expect a supplier to take this guidance into consideration when designing the training. Lot 2 - Project Management Qualification training There are a significant number of staff whose role focuses heavily on project management tools and techniques and some wish to have some formal qualification in project management. Others want to move into project management as a career and require a formal qualification. We are looking to provide those with the opportunity to gain a qualification to industry standard. It would be beneficial that the course is also in-line with APM and Prince 2 principles.
