Summary of the contracting process

London Gateway Port Limited is currently in the planning stage for a procurement process titled "Training and Development Partner - The Hive, Multi-Purpose Amenity Facility," with the intention to engage a partner to manage and coordinate training, education, and development needs. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically training services (CPV code 80500000), and is part of a special regime for utilities. The project is located in the UKH32 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method is an open competition, not above the threshold, with key deadlines, including the end of the tender period on 16 September 2025 and the enquiry period ending on 1 September 2025. The preferred partner is expected to be finalised by September 2025 to prepare for the facility's opening in April 2026.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for business growth, particularly for firms specialising in training and educational services, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies and consortiums with experience in managing large-scale training initiatives and a strong understanding of educational development models would be well-suited to compete. Notably, the opportunity involves a significant engagement period, offering an initial three-year contract with the possibility of a two-year extension. Businesses that can demonstrate robust delivery methodologies and innovative solutions in the education and training sector stand to gain a strategic partnership with a major port operator at this purpose-built facility.
