The buyer, UK Shared Business Services Limited, published the tender on 25th June 2020, with a deadline for bid submission set for 12th August 2020. This contract is located in the United Kingdom and pertains to specialist training services, with a total value of £3 million to fund the programme over a three-year period, commencing on 15th October 2020 and concluding on 14th October 2023. This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and micro enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), interested in developing training and networking initiatives in the research and innovation sectors. Companies that specialise in leadership development, public engagement, and collaborative research are well-positioned to compete for this contract, as it aims to enhance skills, foster creative thinking, and build leadership capabilities among Early Career Researchers and Innovators across various disciplines. ## Notice ey Objective UK Research and Innovation are looking to take advantage of the unique opportunities presented by the cohorts of Future Leaders Fellows by making an FLF Development Network available. It is envisioned that the activities associated with this network will be accessible to all FLFs, and that where capacity is available will also be opened up to wider participation by other Early Career Researchers and Innovators supported by UKRI. This network should; * Create a strong cohort experience * Develop the leadership of the fellows * Enable the cohorts to play a leadership role across the research and innovation community * Create deep links with UKRI and its investments In order to deliver this, it is expected that the network will provide a series of networking and development workshops that provide each cohort of participating fellows with the tools to think creatively and to develop and lead new and imaginative thinking that spans disciplinary boundaries. In addition to this, activities should be in place that support and enable the development of skills and leadership in; Communications & media, Public engagement with research, Collaboration & cross-sector working, and Impact. Furthermore, it is expected that the network will enable fellows to engage with and receive mentoring from influential research and innovation leaders and will support engagement with key challenges facing the research and innovation environment. The proposed network should provide these opportunities for up to 250 fellows, including those funded through rounds one to three of the FLF, and ensure that each intake of fellows into the network is able to access opportunities over a two-year period. The FLF Development Network will last for three years, and up to PS3 million is available to support this. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/de2421e2-d125-4ebb-b8dd-f9c78a82027d | | Notice type | Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (above threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Large | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Oct 2020 | | Submission deadline | 11 Aug 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 14 Oct 2020 | | Contract period | 14 Oct 2020 - 14 Oct 2023 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £3,000,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £2,805,265 | | 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 | UK SHARED BUSINESS SERVICES LIMITED | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 1FL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Rodbourne Cheney | | Westminster constituency | Swindon North | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | EDINBURGH INNOVATIONS | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 79411100 - Business development consultancy services - 80510000 - Specialist training services ## Release History - 28 Oct 2020 at 11:56 - Award - Award Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/de2421e2-d125-4ebb-b8dd-f9c78a82027d - 25 Jun 2020 at 09:51 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/77d6b711-51ac-4f42-a792-0ff5231225c1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/de2421e2-d125-4ebb-b8dd-f9c78a82027d 28th October 2020 - Awarded contract notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/77d6b711-51ac-4f42-a792-0ff5231225c1 25th June 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/d026b9a0-b171-4637-9e0f-b24cbd26fc63 CS20024 UKRI FLF Development Network Supplier Day Questions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/0b568c5f-f409-4882-a0de-444ff8f87d3f CS20024 Interview Agenda - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/f17da557-cea6-4058-a5f8-6bbd37d88edf CS20024 Delta - RFP Request for Proposal Questions - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c961098d-75cd-443a-b983-892e9151a51f CS20024 Delta - RFP Request for Proposal - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/14248625-9c7a-432e-a2eb-ccdf805607f9 CS20024 UKRI Precedent Goods Services Contract (High value) - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/4a8b2e19-1fdf-40e4-9bbc-bb2c3ab92e69 CS20024 - AW5.2 Price Schedule v2 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/5199b7ae-2e64-4059-bc7b-bb421d02d167 Appendix E - UKRI FLF Development Network Supplier Day Presentation ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
