This opportunity falls within the higher education services category and is particularly relevant in the South East region of England. The procurement process is conducted using the Light Touch Regime, with a tender submission deadline set for 27th May 2021. The total contract value is estimated at £500,000, commencing on 1st June 2021 and continuing until 1st June 2024. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in education services, particularly those offering training, adult education, and peer facilitation. Companies capable of delivering high-quality coaching and adept in managing networking activities are well-suited to participate. The University of Portsmouth's active engagement with multiple contracts indicates ongoing demand for experienced practitioners in this sector, creating a favourable environment for small and medium enterprises, as well as voluntary and community sector organisations, to grow their operations through collaboration on this project. ## Notice The University of Portsmouth (specifically the Faculty of Business and Law) delivers business support programmes on behalf of Government, private businesses, local authorities and at the request of individuals. These programmes typically take the form of (but are not limited to) online and face to face sessions blended with 1- coaching, peer networking activities and online learning opportunities. The university is entering a period of increased activity with multiple contracts being developed and delivered that will require industry experienced practitioners able to converse and facilitate around an academic topic with their peers. The university is keen to develop resilience of resources in this area to ensure it can respond quickly to delivery requirements. The University is looking to set up an arrangement that they can easily call off to suitably qualified and experienced providers. This is being procured using the Light Touch Regime under the regulations.
