The awarded contract, valued at £122,028, went to Limeculture CIC and spans from April 15, 2025, to April 14, 2030. The training aims to educate 2,700 staff and 27,000 students initially by the end of July 2025, with ongoing training for new staff and students starting from September 2025. The procurement process was an open procedure, with the tender closing on February 20, 2025. The industry category for this contract falls under Education and Training Services (CPV code 80000000), and the procurement is classified as "below threshold," making it suitable for SMEs and VCSEs. This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses specializing in educational services, particularly those with expertise in training and awareness programs concerning harassment and sexual misconduct. Enterprises that can offer tailored training packages for university staff and students are well-suited to compete in such procurements. Businesses experienced in legal, compliance, and support services in educational environments could leverage this contract to expand their market presence and strengthen their reputations as leaders in fostering safe and supportive institutional environments. The comprehensive nature of the tender, addressing both staff and students’ needs, ensures multiple entry points for varied business expertise and resource capacity. ## Notice The university regulator (the Office for Students - OfS) has recently announced a new condition of registration for all universities in England, which focuses on harassment and sexual misconduct. The new condition of registration follows work that was started in 2016 and follows a statement of expectation that many universities, including LJMU, have been working to since 2020. The new condition of registration expects that all universities will have embedded good practice in place for the 1st August 2025. This has now been awarded to Limeculture CIC One of the key aspects of this condition is the delivery and availability of training and awareness for staff and students on harassment and sexual misconduct, and LJMU will be required to roll this training out to all 2,700 staff and 27,000 students in the first instance. We expect to deliver the training in the first period (to the end of July 2025) to all relevant individuals and then from September 2025 to roll out to new students and staff as they start at the university with a 3-year refresher/renewal period for staff. The tender is split into two parts and organisations are able to tender for either staff or student training provision or both. Please indicate on your submitted documentation whether it applies to a) staff; b) students; c) both staff and students. The training is required to cover the following areas: Lot One - Staff Background to this condition of registration Detail on what is required of the university to comply with the condition.
