## Summary

The Government Office for Science has awarded a contract for the refresh of GO Science Futures Toolkit Training. The procurement process was selective, calling off from a framework agreement. The contract covers design, piloting, finalising, and ongoing delivery of core training, along with additional training components. The contract period is from 27th February 2024 to 27th February 2026, with a tender period ending on 29th January 2024. The buying organisation is located at 10 Victoria Street, London, SW1H0NN, England. The procurement falls under the services category.

This tender presents opportunities for business growth, particularly for companies offering research and development consultancy services. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) would be suited to compete in this tender. The training component of the contract allows for potential subcontracting opportunities for businesses specializing in training and consultancy services. The buyer, Government Office for Science, emphasises alignment with the new Toolkit as a key criterion for successful bids.

## Notice

This is not a call for competition, this is an award off a framework. One of our most popular resources is the Futures Toolkit (2017). The Futures Toolkit has been refreshed. We need to update our training offer to align with the new Toolkit. We chose to contract sequentially and separately for the training so that companies tendering could base their bids on a near-published draft. We will share the pdf with all confirmed interested bidders. The contract will cover 1. Design, piloting, finalising and ongoing quarterly delivery of the core training 2. Piloting and, subject to confirmed demand and positive evaluation feedback, ongoing quarterly delivery of two supplementary deliverables: a) A 'train the trainers' day, designed to enable others to teach their teams the Toolkit b) 3 one-hour masterclasses per quarter focused on other tools in the Toolkit that are not covered in the core training (same 3 tools each quarter, one/hr)
