## Summary

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is inviting tenders for the "Provision of Structured Problem Solving Training," aimed at enhancing the skills of up to 35 managers and leaders within the organisation. The tender falls under the training services category and is located in Newport, Wales. Currently active, the tender process is being conducted via an open procedure, with submissions due by 24 April 2017. The contract is expected to start on 16 May 2017 and will run for two years, concluding on 16 May 2019. The budget for this procurement is set between £60,000 and £200,000.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for training service providers, particularly those with expertise in structured problem-solving methodologies. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the ONS is keen to engage with innovative firms that can deliver tailored training solutions. Businesses with a strong track record in training delivery and those familiar with public sector requirements would be well-positioned to compete for this contract, which aims to foster effective policy analysis and statistical development.

## Notice

The programme of learning required is to provide a community of staff with structured problem solving methodology in two concurrent phases. Firstly, to introduce the methodology to up to 35 managers and leaders from across ONS. Secondly, to work closely with a new Public & Policy Analysis (PPA) strategy and engagement team* as they set up to embed the methodology in their working, creating a way of working that reflects an effective and efficient translation of policy issues into statistical and analytical development plans.
