Nottingham Trent University (NTU), a public authority acting as a sub-central government entity, is inviting tenders for the "Provision of Conflict Resolution" training services. The procurement, handled through an open method below the threshold, involves designing and delivering conflict resolution training to students across NTU's Clifton and Mansfield campuses. The tender period closes on 9th March 2026, with the enquiry period ending on 6th March 2026. This initiative falls under the services category, specifically focusing on medical education services, with a total value of £200,000.
