The procurement process is currently at the Tender stage, with the submission deadline set for 26th October 2020. This opportunity falls under the industry category of research and development services and related consultancy services, specifically delivering services in London, United Kingdom. The contract is expected to commence on 28th October 2020 and run until 31st December 2020, with the procurement conducted through an open procedure. This tender presents an excellent opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with expertise in facilitating training sessions and developing educational programmes. Companies that specialise in community engagement, conflict resolution, or similar fields will find this opportunity particularly relevant. The selected contractor will work closely with the LGA programme lead to design and deliver training sessions using video-conferencing tools, which could enhance the contractor's visibility and reputation in the public sector, fostering further business growth. ## Notice The LGA's resilience, safety and regulation team has developed a programme of support for councils around a range of issues, including tackling extremism, preventing people from being drawn into radicalisation, and developing cohesive and resilient communities. As part of the LGA's work to provide political leadership support to councillors around these areas and in response to a request from a specific member authority, the LGA is developing a new bespoke virtual training programme to help support elected members in a local authority respond to local extremism and cohesion concerns. We are seeking an external facilitator with appropriate experience to help develop the training programme and facilitate the training sessions. Subject to further discussions between the programme lead and appointed facilitator, it is expected that all sessions will be delivered via video-conference and that there will be a series of 3 sessions at around 2 hours each, delivered on different dates (dates to be confirmed, but this should be autumn 2020). Working with the LGA programme lead, the contractor(s) will be expected to assist with the development of the programme, liaise with council nominees and any programme speakers as requested, facilitate each session, and providing inputs to the training as appropriate. The contractor will be in regular contact with the programme lead by email and telephone throughout the programme planning. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/057d128b-4928-426c-b9ca-da3b43c06b6b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Oct 2020 | | Submission deadline | 26 Oct 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 28 Oct 2020 - 31 Dec 2020 | | 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 | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LOCAL GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATION | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1P 3HZ | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI35 Westminster and City of London | | Local authority | Westminster | | Electoral ward | St James's | | Westminster constituency | Cities of London and Westminster | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 73 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ### Codes - 73000000 - Research and development services and related consultancy services ## Release History - 13 Oct 2020 at 22:45 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/057d128b-4928-426c-b9ca-da3b43c06b6b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/057d128b-4928-426c-b9ca-da3b43c06b6b 13th October 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-GB-London:-Course-facilitator/XFMZNSN5TX Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
