## Summary

The British Library has issued a tender for a consultancy service to set up a training program for internal staff members to become Solution Architects. The procurement stage is currently active, with a tender deadline of August 18, 2023, and a contract period starting on September 4, 2023. The value of the contract is £50,000 GBP, and the procurement method is an open procedure. This opportunity falls under the services category and is suitable for SMEs. The location is London, and the industry category is technical training services.

This tender from the British Library provides an opportunity for consultant firms specialising in technical training services to help develop a training program for internal staff members. SMEs are encouraged to apply for this tender, which involves coaching, mentoring, and delivering training on architecture. Businesses in the consultancy and training sectors looking to expand their portfolio and work with prestigious organisations can benefit from participating in this tender process.

## Notice

The British Library is finding it difficult to recruit Solution Architects and so a decision has been made to provide opportunity for two internal members of staff to be seconded to the Architecture team for 2 years and follow a training, coaching and mentoring program. At the end of the 2 years they may stay in the Architecture team or go back to their original role with an additional set of skills. The purpose of this procurement is to engage with a consultant or consultancy to help set up this training program, be part of the selection process and then help to deliver the initial part of the training program with the Head of Architecture. Alongside this, it is envisaged that the successful person/organisation will help develop the architecture for a key project using this as a learning exercise for the successful trainees. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement.
