## Summary

The University of Cumbria is seeking proposals for the 'Provision of Conference Facilities for the TEAN Conference'. This procurement falls within the services industry category, specifically focusing on hotel meeting and conference services. The tender is currently in the active stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 19 April 2017. The contract period is expected to commence on 2 June 2017 and will last until 31 May 2020, covering the next three conferences held in May of each year.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for businesses specialising in conference management, event hospitality, and venue provisioning, particularly those capable of accommodating large groups and offering tailored services. Given the scale of the TEAN conference, which previously attracted over 180 delegates, businesses with experience in managing similar events would be well-positioned to compete effectively. This recurrent procurement process further enhances the potential for long-term partnerships within the region.

## Notice

TEAN, the Teacher Education Advancement Network, is an independent network for teacher educators, supported by the Institute of Education at the University of Cumbria. TEAN's aims for teacher education are: to enhance practice; support and promote innovation and development; and contribute to and help build research capacity. The TEAN conference offers an opportunity for colleagues to spend time together to share great practice and ideas. In a supportive and welcoming atmosphere you will be able to share ideas with an appreciative audience who will both encourage and challenge you. The TEAN conference is held over two days and it is important to make the most of the time available to us. In prior years we have had over 180 delegates as well as guest speakers. We are asking for tenderers to submit for the provision of the next 3 conferences (9th, 10th and 11th). The first conference will be the 9th annual conference to be held in May 2018. Additional information: Is a Recurrent Procurement Type? : Yes
