The authority aims to implement a solution for integrated learning, training, development, and performance functions. A market engagement event is scheduled for 26th September 2023 to seek industry expertise and feedback, with details provided through the email Procurement@bucksfire.gov.uk. The contract is classified under training software services with the postal code HP20 1BD. This tender presents an opportunity for businesses in the training software and development services sector to compete. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would be well-suited to participate in this procurement process. The Authority is focused on enhancing its learning and training capabilities through a cloud-based virtual learning platform, offering potential suppliers a chance to contribute innovative solutions in line with the project objectives. Businesses interested in performance review, staff development, and personal development training services can find growth opportunities through this procurement. ## Notice Buckinghamshire and Milton Keynes Fire Authority (BMKFA) the Contracting Authority, acting on behalf of Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service (BFRS), employs approximately 500 people at any given time. The staff groups consist of 374 Operational Fire Fighters and 126 Support staff. All staff access a range of training and development courses and inputs (delivered via e-learning, virtually or face to face). Training and development activity is panned annually with all staff participating in annual Performance Appraisal & Development Process. These processes utilise a range of paper based files, computer drives, electronic HR systems, electronic Rostering System and Learning Management System. The systems are not integrated. Staff and Line Managers have to use multiple systems to identify, undertake, progress, complete learning, reporting, development and performance which results in a user experience that is disjointed rather than intuitive. Whilst the Service would prefer one system to effectively manage these integrated learning, training, development and performance functions and processes, we are aware of the complex challenges both financially and technically in realising a single system solution and understand the outcome of the market engagement may indicate this is not possible. The current Staff Learning Management System (LMS) in Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service provides a cloud-based virtual learning platform, for administration, tracking, monitoring and reporting of development and training programmes. This Prior Information Notice is to inform the market that BMKFA/BFRS are planning to undertake a procurement process to implement a solution that will meet the aims of the project as per the Problem Statement attached. The Authority plans to hold a supplier engagement event to present a more detailed overview of our project aims and objectives and to seek industry expertise and feedback to better inform the Authority system review, budget requirements and subsequent procurement process. The market engagement event is scheduled to take place on 26th September 2023 with tow sessions being offered. The first session starting at 09:30 to 12:30 and the second session from 13:30 to 16:30. The session will involve an initial presentation by BFRS for 30-60 minutes, followed by an open Questions and Answers session for the remainder of the slot time, further timings to follow. In the event that the level of response requires an additional day, further information will be provided offering a second date. Full details of the event and all associated communications will be managed using the following email contact: Procurement@bucksfire.gov.uk Additional information: All communication should be directed to: Procurement@bucksfire.gov.uk ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6919938c-0f35-4552-9c72-e4b246441044 | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Aug 2023 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 18 Sep 2023 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | BUCKINGHAMSHIRE & MILTON KEYNES FIRE AUTHORITY | | Locality | AYLESBURY | | Post town | Hemel Hempstead | | Postcode | HP20 1BD | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLJ South East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLJ1 Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire | | ITL 3 | TLJ13 Buckinghamshire | | Local authority | Buckinghamshire | | Electoral ward | Aylesbury East | | Westminster constituency | Aylesbury | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 48 - Software package and information systems - 72 - IT services: consulting, software development, Internet and support - 79 - Business services: law, marketing, consulting, recruitment, printing and security - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 48931000 - Training software package - 72212931 - Training software development services - 79313000 - Performance review services - 79633000 - Staff development services - 80570000 - Personal development training services ## Release History - 16 Aug 2023 at 16:45 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6919938c-0f35-4552-9c72-e4b246441044 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6919938c-0f35-4552-9c72-e4b246441044 16th August 2023 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
