This project falls within the construction industry and aims to transform an underutilised space into a multi-functional teaching venue that can host between 70 to 100 individuals. The tender period is open, with submissions due by 28th April 2017. The contract is scheduled to begin on 4th September 2017 and will last until 27th April 2018. The procurement method utilised is an open procedure, allowing broad participation. This tender represents a significant opportunity for contractors, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with relevant construction experience. The innovative requirements for the LTS, catering to diverse configurations ranging from lectures to flexible teaching environments, underscore the need for skilled contractors who can deliver high-quality construction work. Businesses that specialise in educational facilities, adaptable spaces, and modern construction techniques would be well-positioned to compete for this contract and contribute to enhancing the FCO's educational offerings. ## Notice The Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) is seeking expressions of interest from experienced Contractors, for the provision of the Large Teaching Space (LTS) for FCO's Diplomatic Academy. The Diplomatic Academy offers an extensive and wide-reaching array of academic and operation-specific courses for the FCO. The LTS would represent an ambitious and innovative use of a currently dead space, enabling comfortable seating for between 70 and 100 people in a theatre style, and the flexibility to use the space for a range of different functions, and in a variety of different configurations, ranging from a traditional lecture, to a Teaching Space for 35 - 40 with circular tables. The flagship structure would add impact and credibility to the Diplomatic Academy's offering, both the staff and external stakeholders. The LTS will be put to numerous uses, including for the delivery of the Academy's curriculum, to host external guests, as a venue at which to host larger events, as well as being made available for other events across the FCO, and potentially as a hireable space to other government departments and other appropriate users.
