This initiative falls under the services category, classified as training facilities. The contract period commenced on 1st July 2017 and will run until 30th June 2018. The tender was planned to conclude on 22nd June 2017, with the award decision made on 26th June 2017, and publicly announced on 8th February 2018. The tender was initiated to develop and deliver a series of training courses and master classes aimed at professional economists and graduates, under the direction of the ONS-RES working group. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in educational services, particularly those with experience in delivering training programmes for professional economists, graduates, and corporate clients. Companies that focus on economics, training provision, and event management would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. Given the complexity and administration involved in delivering the training and managing logistics, organisations capable of handling all aspects from venue management to course material preparation are particularly desirable for this type of contract. ## Notice The successful bidder (provider) will administer a programme of training and master classes in economic statistics to professional economists and graduates. It will be subject to the direction of the ONS-RES working group who will provide a clear steer in terms of course and master class topic, content, leaders and timing. It is expected that we will hold four courses over a 12 month period, with the aim of beginning in September 2017. We also anticipate organising master classes, possibly of two types: academically oriented master classes of perhaps two days, which would cover frontier research in area, and shorter master classes which are targeted at business economists. The provider will be expected to deliver administration of the training and master classes programme, including: publicity (preparation, design, mailing, and web presence) bookings (registering bookings, issuing joining instructions, dealing with cancellations/reallocation of places) delegate finance (raising delegate invoices, processing payments, receipting payments, raising cancellation credit notes) registration and course administration (on the day registering attendees, dealing with queries at venue) venue administration (sourcing venue, booking, processing invoices, authorising payments, liaising with venue staff, organising room set up and IT/AV, organising lab assistants where necessary, dispatching branding materials) course materials (liaising with tutors, preparing materials, printing and copying, distribution, website content) catering (sourcing, booking, processing invoices, authorising payments) tutor liaison (liaising with tutors, making travel arrangements, processing expense claims, sourcing and booking accommodation, processing invoices, authorising payments) course evaluation (preparing, conducting and compiling evaluations) general administration (dealing with queries on any of the above) The provider will be given a key ONS contact who will act as a conduit between the working group and the provider to monitor the delivery of the programme and ensure working group recommendations are fully communicated and fulfilled. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/711f9f9d-ce96-4b05-9244-26260219190e | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Feb 2018 | | Submission deadline | 22 Jun 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 25 Jun 2017 | | Contract period | 30 Jun 2017 - 30 Jun 2018 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Active | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | OFFICE FOR NATIONAL STATISTICS | | Locality | GWENT | | Post town | Newport | | Postcode | NP10 8XG | | Country | Wales | | ITL 1 | TLL Wales | | ITL 2 | TLL5 South East Wales | | ITL 3 | TLL54 Monmouthshire and Newport | | Local authority | Newport | | Electoral ward | Tredegar Park and Marshfield | | Westminster constituency | Newport West and Islwyn | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | EML LEARNING | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80520000 - Training facilities ## Release History - 8 Feb 2018 at 08:34 - AwardUpdate - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/711f9f9d-ce96-4b05-9244-26260219190e - 7 Jul 2017 at 13:30 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/711f9f9d-ce96-4b05-9244-26260219190e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/711f9f9d-ce96-4b05-9244-26260219190e 8th February 2018 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
