## Summary

This initiative falls under the training services industry, specifically targeting safety training for the use of display screen equipment.

The minimum contract value is £6,000, whilst the total contract value is £11,000. The training system is required to be accessible by up to 1,000 staff members primarily based in London, but also remote workers.

Companies that are adaptable and can meet the specific requirements of the Arts & Humanities community would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. The open nature of the procurement process also encourages small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to engage, thereby fostering competition and innovation in the provision of training services.

UK Shared Business Services Ltd changed its name from RCUK Shared Services Centre Ltd in March 2013. Our Customers Growing from a foundation of supporting the Research Councils, 2012/13 saw Business Innovation and Skills (BIS) transition their procurement to UK SBS and Crown Commercial Service (CSS - previously Government Procurement Service) agree a Memorandum of Understanding with UK SBS to deliver two major procurement categories (construction and research) across Government. Important information From the 2nd April 2014 the Government is introducing its new Government Security Classifications (GSC) classification scheme to replace the current Government Protective Marking Scheme (GPMS). A key aspect of this is the reduction in the number of security classifications used. All potential suppliers should make themselves aware of the changes as it may impact on this Requirement.
