This initiative falls under the education and training services industry, with a focus on enhancing trade capacity-building programmes for civil servants in the UK and abroad. The supplier event is scheduled for 15 December 2017, providing an opportunity for potential suppliers to engage with FCO representatives to discuss training requirements. The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, and interested suppliers must request an invitation by 12 December 2017 to attend. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses engaged in educational services, particularly those specialising in trade negotiations, training development, and digital learning. Companies with experience in delivering advanced training programmes or workshops suited for civil service professionals would be well-positioned to compete. With a contract value of £880,000, this tender seeks to build expertise within the UK's trade negotiation capabilities, making it an attractive prospect for SMEs with relevant services in the sector. ## Notice The Foreign and Commonwealth Office's Trade Policy and Negotiations Faculty wishes to develop its trade capacity-building programmes for civil servants in the UK and overseas in order to develop its current offer and to meet the needs of future trade negotiators. For expert level programmes, the Faculty plans to support the UK's capacity to negotiate on a range of specific trade-related subjects and to create advanced training for those at the frontline of trade negotiations. In addition, we are looking to develop the existing digital learning programme at Practitioner-level and to embed that learning through face to face workshops. We would like to invite suppliers to meet with us at the FCO on Friday 15 December to better understand our requirements and offer suggestions on how we might fulfil our training objectives. The event will be an opportunity for suppliers to familiarise themselves with the current trade curriculum offered across UK departments and overseas and to ask any questions ahead of the tender process. Timings: 10.00am - Arrival drinks / registration for one to one meetings 10.30am - Presentation on the Trade Faculty's future work programme: lessons learnt and requirements for future capacity-building programmes Following the presentation there will be a series of one to one meetings with potential suppliers to discuss the learning requirements in more detail. If you wish to attend the event, please request an invitation via email to jonathan.burgoyne@fco.gov.uk including the full names, dates of birth and contact information of the attendees. We would appreciate if each organisation could send no more than two attendees. The deadline for messages will be midday Tuesday 12th December. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a84032ec-7301-4149-94d0-f20529748171 | | Notice type | Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 6 Dec 2017 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 1 Feb 2018 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2018 - 31 Mar 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £880,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planned | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | FOREIGN & COMMONWEALTH OFFICE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1A 2AH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 6 Dec 2017 at 11:34 - Planning - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a84032ec-7301-4149-94d0-f20529748171 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/a84032ec-7301-4149-94d0-f20529748171 6th December 2017 - Future opportunity notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
