This initiative aims to equip UK companies, both existing in Colombia and those seeking to enter the market, with essential skills for winning public sector contracts at various levels. The training is scheduled to take place in Bogota on 20 and 21 November 2017, just before the Colombian Infrastructure Congress in Cartagena. The tender is currently in the active stage, and responses must be submitted by 17 September 2017. The procurement method follows an open procedure, focusing on services related to training aids and consultancy. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in training and consultancy services, particularly those experienced in public sector engagement or international business development. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to participate, as the training aims to facilitate entry into the Colombian market. By participating in this tender, businesses can not only expand their service offerings but also forge valuable connections ahead of the Colombian Infrastructure Congress. ## Notice The objective of this initiative is to provide UK companies (both those already present in Colombia and those looking to win new business here) with a comprehensive two day training that covers all aspects of understanding, applying for and winning public sector contracts at the municipal, departmental or national level. The training is expected to be held in Bogota on 20 and 21 November 2017 - the two days immediately prior to the Colombian Infrastructure Congress (CCI) in Cartagena (22 to 24 November 2017). All tender documentation will be published, and all substantive communication between the Authority and bidders will be conducted via the FCO's e-Procurement Portal, Bravo Solution.
