This tender falls under the training services category and is located within London, UK. Currently in the Tender stage, the procurement method is an open procedure, with a tender period that closes on 13th November 2018. The expected contract value is between £50,000 and £100,000, with a contract period set to commence on 1st February 2019 and conclude by 31st January 2020. This tender presents a significant opportunity for small or medium enterprises (SMEs), especially those specialised in training and development services. Businesses with experience in delivering safeguarding training, particularly in the context of care and support sectors, would be ideally positioned to compete for this contract. The emphasis on comprehensive training aligns with the growing demand for professional development in safeguarding practices, offering potential for growth within the training market. ## Notice Metropolitan Housing Trust went through a strategic review of safeguarding carried out by an independent consultancy between August and November 2017. The overall purpose was to provide independent expertise, challenge and rigour to address the needs of all the diverse services of Metropolitan and reflects an approach that is both internally and externally focused and complies with the statutory framework, government guidance and regulatory requirements. Metropolitan has gone through some significant changes, there has been an expansion of services in both Care and Support and General Housing and whilst safeguarding has sat within Care and support it has now been recognised that there is a need for the whole workforce to be aware of risks and vulnerabilities of customers whatever part of the service they come into contact with. The primary concern is to ensure that children and adults at risk are kept safe, and that there are adequately implemented safe systems and processes to prevent report and respond should any safeguarding issues arise. One of the recommendations following the review 'Create a comprehensive safeguarding training and development strategy that defines expectations of staff through to higher levels of training for those with designated safeguarding lead roles and responsibilities'. Following this review Learning & Organisation Development have been collaborating with Metropolitan's safeguarding lead to develop Safeguarding Training matrices and an L&OD strategy for safeguarding. L&OD are currently developing a level 1 awareness module - combined children and adults which will become part of Metropolitan's core pathway for all staff and will be a mandatory requirement. In addition Metropolitan are procuring 2 x level 2 online modules - 1 each for Children and Adults, and these will be a mandatory requirement for frontline Care and Support and Housing staff. In addition to the level 2 online modules, we need to provide face-to-face workshops for frontline Care and Support and Housing staff. Additional information: The contracting authority considers that this contract may be suitable for economic operators that are small or medium enterprises (SMEs). However, any selection of tenderers will be based solely on the criteria set out for the procurement. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cffdddb0-cc2f-4113-aa09-f8b6b9b0c8b1 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 7 Nov 2018 | | Submission deadline | 13 Nov 2018 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Feb 2019 - 31 Jan 2020 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | 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 | METROPOLITAN THAMES VALLEY HOUSING | | Locality | SOUTHGATE | | Post town | North London | | Postcode | N14 6PW | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI5 Outer London - East and North East | | ITL 3 | TLI54 Enfield | | Local authority | Enfield | | Electoral ward | Southgate | | Westminster constituency | Southgate and Wood Green | | Delivery location | TLI London | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80000000 - Education and training services - 80500000 - Training services - 80510000 - Specialist training services ## Release History - 7 Nov 2018 at 23:58 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cffdddb0-cc2f-4113-aa09-f8b6b9b0c8b1 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/cffdddb0-cc2f-4113-aa09-f8b6b9b0c8b1 7th November 2018 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.delta-esourcing.com/delta/respondToList.html?noticeId=356890960 Please follow this link to view the notice. ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
