This initiative aims to equip UK companies, both existing in Colombia and those seeking to enter the market, with essential skills for winning public sector contracts at various levels. The training is scheduled to take place in Bogota on 20 and 21 November 2017, just before the Colombian Infrastructure Congress in Cartagena.

The procurement method follows an open procedure, focusing on services related to training aids and consultancy.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in training and consultancy services, particularly those experienced in public sector engagement or international business development.
