The programme aims to enhance the capabilities of UK SMEs by educating them on export opportunities linked to major sporting events outside the UK. Key dates include an engagement end date of 7th July 2020, by which time responses to the early market engagement notice are expected. Interested parties can find more details in the related documents, including technical specifications, which have been published in conjunction with the engagement notice on 16th June 2020. This tender presents significant opportunities for SMEs engaged in training services, particularly those that can develop educational solutions such as webinars, e-learning modules, or best practice guidance related to sporting events. Businesses specialising in market analysis, training design, and delivery methods would be well-suited to compete in this process, enabling them to contribute to enhancing the export capabilities of UK enterprises while potentially increasing their own market reach and revenue from the public procurement sector. ## Notice DIT's Sports Economy Team plans to roll out a programme to help educate and upskill UK companies, particularly SMEs, to understand, explore, and pursue export opportunities arising from major sporting events held outside of the UK. This will include inward and outward trade missions, conferences, and seminars. At the core of this programme will be the need to upskill UK companies. As a result, DIT wishes to procure a solution that will help companies to: 1) Understand the major sports events marketplace, the nature, make up and structure of the above and other major regional and sub-regional level sports events taking place over the next 10-15 years, and; 2) Provide best practice advice and guidance on the actions/preparations companies need to take themselves in preparing to pursue opportunities. DIT is carrying out early market engagement for this requirement. We are seeking responses to understand the possible solutions to the objectives listed above, whether these be paper-based, webinars, e-learning, or some other method (excluding trade missions). Responses should be no longer than four (4) sides of A4 and should briefly convey how the proposed solution would meet the objectives of the requirement. Responses should include an assessment of whether the indicated budget is sufficient. Please see the attached Brief Specification for more detail of the requirement. All responses should be submitted via email to Alistair.Goldspink@trade.gov.uk. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e2631d7c-3be5-4c1d-8033-bf9218aeecba | | Notice type | Market Engagement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Not specified | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 16 Jun 2020 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | 7 Jul 2020 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | 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 | Planning | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | DEPARTMENT FOR INTERNATIONAL TRADE | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | South West London | | Postcode | SW1H 0TL | | 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 | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80500000 - Training services ## Release History - 16 Jun 2020 at 16:54 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e2631d7c-3be5-4c1d-8033-bf9218aeecba - 16 Jun 2020 at 16:50 - Planning - Market Engagement Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e2631d7c-3be5-4c1d-8033-bf9218aeecba ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/e2631d7c-3be5-4c1d-8033-bf9218aeecba 16th June 2020 - Early engagement notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/16ae4887-1cd3-4ed4-a120-386d521a10a0 - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/c0cf3132-52db-43c4-a790-51acdf61036f ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
