Notice Title
Design and Delivery of a Train-the-Trainer Service for the Diverse Angel Syndicates Programme
Notice Description
Background - The Diverse Angel Syndicate (DAS) Programme supports the development and sustainability of diversity-focused angel syndicates across the UK. The programme aims to broaden participation in angel investing, increase investment into diverse founders, and strengthen the capability of emerging angel syndicates across the UK nations and regions. DAS places a particular emphasis on engaging and supporting new and novice angels, with the aim of broadening access to angel investing as an asset class and improving confidence, capability and participation among underrepresented groups. The programme is expected to support approximately 10-15 syndicates, delivered through three cohorts of up to five syndicates each, in addition to the current cohort of five. Successful applicants will receive a package of financial and non-financial support, including funding for operational costs, training and capability-building, guidance on operational tooling and infrastructure, and access to peer learning and ecosystem connections through the programme. Tender Description - As part of the non-financial support offer, British Business Bank Plc ("British Business Bank" or "BBB" or "Buyer) is seeking to procure a training provider to design, deliver, and support a Train-the-Trainer education programme for angel syndicate leads across the United Kingdom. The aim of this programme is to upskill syndicate leads to deliver consistent, high-quality training to their own syndicate members. BBB anticipates that the contract will span a period of up to four years. During this time, supported syndicates are expected to continue recruiting new angel investors on a rolling basis. As such, the training requirement is expected to be front-loaded, with an initial focus on programme design, content development and early delivery, followed by a transition to a lighter-touch model in later years. This is likely to include ongoing support, updates to training materials, and periodic engagement to maintain quality and relevance. The training offer is expected to be modular in structure and designed to: support angel activation and portfolio understanding for new / novice angels enable syndicates to tailor delivery to their own membership base establish a minimum standard of training across supported syndicates ensure clarity of purpose and avoid duplication between syndicate development and angel education Pricing estimate: Up to PS200k (excluding VAT) for the duration of the contract, with a maximum of PS120k for development and delivery within year 1 and tapered costs for ongoing maintenance and support in subsequent years. This value is indicative only and subject to refinement. The Authority is using Pre-Market Engagement exercise to further inform the scope, delivery model and commercial approach, including pricing.
