## Summary

The procurement process is for the project titled "Design of Content for Exporting Skills Workshops," initiated by East Midlands Business Limited (EMB) on behalf of the Department for International Trade (DIT). The awarded contract, worth £11,000, is set to run from 28th August 2020 to 14th September 2020, following a prior tender period that closed at noon on 24th August 2020. This procurement falls under the category of administrative educational services and involves the design of workshops along with an electronic workbook. The contract will be delivered across various locations in England, starting with virtual workshops before transitioning to in-person sessions.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses experienced in educational services and consultancy, particularly those specialising in workshop design and delivery. Companies that are adept at providing skills training or support to small and medium enterprises (SMEs) could greatly benefit from this opportunity, as EMB's aim is to enhance overseas market access for these businesses. Given that the project is set within the Regional Growth Service framework, firms with a strong background in management consultancy and educational service provision will be well-positioned to compete for similar contracts in the future.

## Notice

East Midlands Business Limited (EMB) wishes to commission a contractor to design a series of Skills for Export workshops. Initially these will be delivered virtually but ultimately they will be delivered on a face-to-face basis at a variety of locations in England. EMB is a Delivery Partner for the Department for International Trade (DIT), covering the East Midlands region. For this procurement we are acting on behalf of DIT and representing the interests of our fellow Delivery Partners in the North East, North West, Yorkshire & Humber, the West Midlands and the South West. Delivery Partners provide a targeted programme of advice, events and financial support designed to encourage and assist SMEs and larger organisations in the English Regions to exploit opportunities in overseas markets. This is a pilot phase of a programme that will ultimately be delivered England-wide. The working title for this programme is the Regional Growth Service (RGS) but could be subject to change. This requirement covers the 'Educate' element of DIT's new RGS programme. This procurement is a single Lot for workshop design and includes a requirement for an accompanying electronic workbook which complements workshop delivery. Further details of the requirement are set out in the Tender Specification. Content & workbook design must be complete by 14th September 2020 so bidders must have the capacity to meet this deadline which cannot be extended. The total available budget for the commission is envisaged to be within the range of PS8,000 - PS12,000 (exclusive of VAT, if applicable). Deadline for submission of tender responses is 12.00 noon, 24 August 2020.
