Summary of the contracting process

Transport for London (TfL) is currently in the Tender stage for a Framework Agreement for the Provision of Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Training Services. Aimed at addressing inequalities and embedding an inclusive culture, the training services will be provided to TfL staff and other organisations. The framework will also benefit Crossrail, the Department for Transport, other government bodies, and the Greater London Authority (GLA) and its Functional Bodies. The procurement process is open and applicable to the Education and Training Services industry category. The tender period ends on 9 August 2024, with an anticipated contract start date of 1 October 2024. The framework agreement will last for up to four years, concluding on 30 September 2028. The total value is estimated at £2,767,700. The delivery location for the training services is London, United Kingdom.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, especially for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) specialising in equality, diversity, and inclusion training. Successful bidders will have the chance to secure long-term contracts with several prominent London-based public organisations, including TfL, the Department for Transport, and various branches of the GLA. This could provide businesses with a stable source of work over the four-year period and the opportunity to build a distinguished client portfolio in the public sector. The requirements favour SMEs, making it an attractive prospect for smaller firms looking to expand their reach and influence. Businesses well-versed in public sector training contracts will find this opportunity particularly advantageous.
