This procurement falls under the category of personnel training services and is set to take place in the West Midlands, United Kingdom. The contract is in the active tender stage, with submissions due by 22 August 2022 at 15:00 hrs. The chosen provider will deliver training for approximately 80 Housing Management employees, focusing on a broad approach to meeting complex psychological and emotional needs. The contract will commence on 1 September 2022 and will last for one year, with an estimated budget of £20,000. This opportunity is ideal for training organisations that specialise in psychological and emotional support, particularly those experienced in working with vulnerable populations. Companies that can provide flexible learning methods, including both classroom and virtual training options, would be well-positioned to compete for this contract. The use of the In-tend e-Tendering System suggests that digital proficiency is beneficial for potential bidders. Businesses focusing on education and training services, especially those that offer personal development and staff training solutions, can leverage this contract to expand their market presence and contribute meaningfully to the Sandwell community. ## Notice Psychologically Informed Environments Training Sandwell Metropolitan Borough "The Council" requires Psychologically Informed Environments (PIE) training to be delivered face to face to Housing Management employees. Approximately 80 employees require training with a maximum of 15 delegates attending each cohort. This figure will likely change due to business demand or higher priority projects taking precedence. Training must be delivered in a classroom at a Sandwell MBC venue but with a virtual option if required by the business. Background Many Sandwell residents are often vulnerable and socially excluded for reasons such as adversity or trauma because of complex psychological and emotional needs, resulting in difficulties engaging with Sandwell services. Although primarily PIE has focused more on the homelessness sector, Sandwell MBC would prefer a more broader approach to training, covering all areas within housing such as Housing Officers, Anti-Social Behaviour and Community Safety. The estimated budget available for the delivery of this training is PS20,000 and the contract period will be for 1 year, commencing 1 September 2022 to 31 August 2022, with training to start as soon as possible from the contract start date. However, this information is intended to assist with the preparation of your bid. The Council does not bind itself to this or any other figure and is not a guarantee of business which may be generated from this contract. The contract value shall remain fixed for the duration of the contract.
