Summary of the contracting process

The UK Shared Business Services Limited is seeking an innovative supplier to develop an On-Line Unconscious Bias Training Module aimed at enhancing decision-making within the Research Councils UK (RCUK). This open tender process has already led to the awarding of the contract to LEO Learning Limited, which is expected to deliver the project from 1st May 2016 to 1st May 2019. The procurement process, classified under management training services and educational software packages, commenced with the publication of the tender notice on 4th March 2016, with a tender period that ended on 16th March 2016. This initiative is aimed at peer reviewers within the broader research community, providing them with flexible training access to bolster their understanding of unconscious bias.

This opportunity creates significant potential for growth for businesses that specialise in educational technology and training solutions, particularly those with experience in e-learning content delivery. Companies adept in crafting engaging online training resources, especially for diverse audiences, will find this project aligned with their competencies. Furthermore, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly encouraged to participate due to the collaborative nature of the contract, which requires capturing 'real life' experiences from RCUK to inform the training materials. This procurement is a chance for innovative firms to contribute to an important initiative within the research sector.

Notice Title

RCUK - On-Line Unconscious Bias Training Module

Notice Description

The Research Councils UK (RCUK) is aiming to create a culture of bias-free decision making through raising the awareness of Unconscious Bias . A recent tender for training in this subject was awarded and is starting across RCUK To build on this training, RCUK wishes to create an On-Line Training Module for Peer Reviewers so that individuals can undertake training at a time & place of their choosing . This would initially be used by peer reviewers approached by the Research Councils but it is expected that the Training Module will be used / endorsed by others within the broader 'research community' and become the standard resource for such individuals . The appointed provider to develop the On-Line Training Module for Peer Reviewers will be expected to have an innovative, robust and cutting edge approach to content delivery coupled with a pragmatic attitude to maintain ease of access & use for the individuals using the system . The appointed provider will need to liaise closely with representatives of both RCUK & the existing supplier as content for the on-line training module will be provided by that organisation to dovetail with the current face-to-face training . The appointed provider will be expected to have the capability and experience to capture 'real life' RCUK experiences and work with RCUK & the existing supplier to create a series of short on-line learning modules which can be accessed by peer reviewers .
