## Summary

The Foreign & Commonwealth Office is seeking proposals for the "Colombia: Rail Management Training for Colombian Government" project, which aims to enhance the skills of approximately 30 officials in rail management. This initiative falls under the education and training services category, with a total contract value of £30,000. The tender is currently active and is being processed through an open procurement method. Key dates include the tender submission deadline on 22nd November 2019, and the contract duration starting from 20th January 2020 to 31st March 2020.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those focused on rail management training and development. Companies that can provide tailored training solutions, with an emphasis on gender and inclusion priorities, will be particularly well-suited to compete. The project also encourages long-term partnerships, which could pave the way for future collaborations between UK and Colombian institutions, creating a platform for businesses to expand their offerings and enhance their footprint in the sector.

## Notice

Capitalising on British expertise, this project aims to upskill a cadre of approximately 30 GoC officials in rail management, including planning, regulation and operational practices. This must integrate gender and inclusion priorities and would ideally include certification. To ensure the sustainability of this knowledge transfer, the project will also create relationships between the provider (delivering this course) and a Colombian university. This initial support from the PF will facilitate longer-term UK-Colombian collaboration on rail regulation and operations, with a view to increasing academic research in this area in Colombia, as well as embedding sustainable learning opportunities around the rail sector in-country. Additional information: The ToRs for the Rail Management Training have gone out to tender on the UK government's Bravo portal. When you log on to Bravo, you need to register, and then search for Project 3688 and ITT 3420: "Rail Management Training for the Colombian Government." If you are interested you need to apply on Bravo - Foreign & Commonwealth Office eSourcing Portal.
