Notice Title

Procurement Opportunity to deliver Bid Writing Workshops

Notice Description

We are looking to procure a series of workshops around 'winning more work', which can be delivered to benefit this wide-ranging need. Given the geography of East Riding and Hull, it is important that the sessions are responsive and are tailored across the range of business sizes from small, micro SMEs, medium SMEs and even large primes. It will be imperative for the successful partner to understand the purpose and commitment to the Supplier Directory and the Opportunities Map, which are key tools that the Business Support team use to support businesses (https://www.thesupplychainnetwork.co.uk/) and to promote these as part of the workshops. We are wanting to work with a responsive, adaptable partner organisation(s) or individual(s) to deliver these workshops on our behalf. It is envisaged that the programme will consist of a range of practical, interactive workshops and events primarily ranging from 1 hour to 2 hours in duration. Where relevant and appropriate we will be looking to the selected partner to work with guest speakers and / or organisations to ensure that diverse sector specific knowledge and or industry specialists are sharing key information to support our businesses needs as they are identified. Through the development and delivery of the workshop's, it is anticipated that a range of practical resources and handouts will be developed and made available for all businesses to use / have access to, where deemed beneficial. Contracts will be awarded on the understanding that these resources and handouts where appropriate will also be incorporated into the ERYC resource portal to support our wider business community. However, in all cases these will be used to encourage further learning and sign ups to the workshops, not as an alternative and will give credit to the original author's / developers. It is expected that the business demand and market conditions will change over time, with the potential of new tender platforms and bid writing methodologies coming into play, so it is likely that additional content will need to be developed on an as needed basis. We operate a model of continual improvement and through this partnership, workshop content and delivery will be collectively monitored with the intention that improvements and changes will be implemented into future delivery. The delivery programme will therefore need to be flexible with a clear project management plan in place to ensure effective working with the ERYC Business Support Team to enable the programme to be responsive in terms of the needs of our business community. Questions about the specification should be directed to Josh Elliott-Shircore via email Josh.shircore@eastriding.gov.uk by Noon Monday 20th November 2023 If you are interested in this opportunity responses should be sent to Josh Elliot-Shircore via email Josh.shircore@eastriding.gov.uk by 5pm Wednesday 29th November 2023 Additional information: Additional information to be included (this does not form part of the scoring of the tender response) In line with the UK Subsidy Control Regime, our business support programme is offered under Minimal Financial Assistance (MFA) as detailed in the Subsidy Control Act 2022. It is therefore our responsibility to ensure a true market value of all public funded activities entered into by our business community are correctly recorded and issued to each business beneficiary. For this reason, as we offer attendance at our workshops at below market rate we request as part of this submission that you also provide a true market value, hourly delegate rate for a typical Bid writing workshop which you would charge if arranging the full development and delivery including venue etc. Timescales 1. Tender advertised Tuesday 14th November 2023 2. Final submission of queries and questions regarding tender Noon Monday 20th November 2023 3.
