## Summary

The Office for National Statistics is seeking a provider for the "Provision of Economic Statistics Training and Masterclasses" in an initiative classified under education and training services, located in Wales, United Kingdom.

The contract period commenced on 2nd July 2017 and is set to conclude on 31st July 2018, following the completion of the tender period, which ended on 24th May 2017.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses involved in training and educational services, particularly those with experience in economic statistics and professional development training. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to explore this opportunity, as the contract focuses on delivering comprehensive administrative support and effective training sessions to professional economists and business economists alike.

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.
