This tender is currently in the active planning stage, with a deadline for submissions set for 24th February 2022. The project is classified under IT services, particularly focusing on consulting, software development, and support, along with education and training services. The successful contractor will start on 10th March 2022 and is expected to finish by 10th June 2022. This procurement is being conducted through a direct method as a single tender action, which is below the threshold for competitive bidding. This opportunity may foster significant growth for businesses specialising in IT consulting, software development, and digital education. Companies with expertise in creating robust digital training platforms and online professional development programmes would be particularly well-placed to compete for this contract. Additionally, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, given the buyer’s openness to those sectors. ## Notice Cultural Engagement (CE) is one of the two strategic business units in the British Council with a suite of global programmes aligned to three central pillars of Arts and Culture, Education and English. As a result of Covid-19, many of these global programmes have pivoted to digital delivery - running virtual events and conferences, shifting face-to-face training to online delivery, creating grant fund opportunities for digital partnerships. Although there is an element of CE's work that will always require face to face connections, there is an opportunity to build on this momentum and engage more people globally with its offer. However currently CE don't have the digital platforms required to deliver one of its priority programme activity types - training and professional development. There is a critical need for CE to invest in core, enterprise-level technology platforms that support global programmes to deliver digital training to external audiences. We are now looking to commission consultants to work with CE to design a new delivery model for online training and professional development.
