This active procurement, categorised under education and training services, focuses on the design and delivery of training tailored for senior officials involved in major project leadership and delivery. The procurement process is in the planning stage, with a total value of £25,250,000. The services are to be delivered primarily in London, UK, and the initial contract covered the development and delivery of comprehensive training modules and workshops. This contract extension presents substantial opportunities for service providers specialising in education and training, particularly those with experience in leadership development for public sector officials. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are particularly well-placed to engage in this tendering process, as the procurement is designed to accommodate their capabilities. Businesses with expertise in project management training, educational content design, and delivery strategies will find that competing in this tender could enhance their portfolio and open doors to further public sector contracts. ## Notice This is a contract extension, which extends the existing contract for 18 months until 24/07/22. The original contract provides the design and delivery of the Major Project Leadership Academy. This is designed to provide training on Major Project Leadership, Technical understanding of Major Project Delivery, and Commercial Capability to senior officials. The initial contract covered Phase 1 (develop and refine the Academy offer in respect of its content, structure and teaching/learning approach, including delivering the first module and designing and running a workshop for Permanent Secretaries and Directors General), and Phase 2 (delivery of the full Academy offer developed in Phase 1). The extension is for the Extended Phase 2, which continues the delivery of the full Academy offer and the development and delivery of further workshops for senior officials. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/047dda55-5bac-46b1-ac51-c55977e9820a | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Other - Not applicable | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 27 Jan 2021 | | Submission deadline | 22 Jan 2012 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 25 Jan 2012 - 24 Jan 2019 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £25,250,000 | | 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 | CROWN COMMERCIAL SERVICE | | Locality | LIVERPOOL | | Post town | Liverpool | | Postcode | L3 9PP | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD72 Liverpool | | Local authority | Liverpool | | Electoral ward | City Centre North | | Westminster constituency | Liverpool Riverside | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services ## Release History - 27 Jan 2021 at 11:07 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/047dda55-5bac-46b1-ac51-c55977e9820a - 27 Jan 2021 at 11:00 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/047dda55-5bac-46b1-ac51-c55977e9820a ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/047dda55-5bac-46b1-ac51-c55977e9820a 27th January 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e1cbcbe0-a0a9-4153-b34a-4f07379dbaa2 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/e44a87ae-d01e-4010-8f7c-d3abbb1f2e31 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/8022d664-7d07-4c68-a54a-c62f07993204?origin=SearchResults&p=1 ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
