## Summary

The procurement process involves the University of Cumbria, which has awarded a contract for the provision of conference facilities for the Teacher Education Advancement Network (TEAN) Conference. This is categorized under hotel meeting and conference services, with the award issued on 17th May 2017. The contract period runs from 2nd June 2017 to 31st May 2020, and the selection process was conducted via an open procedure. The initial tender period ended on 19th April 2017, and the services are to be provided in Lancaster, North West England.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in conference facilities, event management, and hospitality services. Companies with experience in accommodating large events and conferences, particularly those capable of serving over 180 delegates, would be well-suited to compete. The contract's long duration also provides a stable partnership for suppliers looking to expand their portfolio within the education sector, specifically for events focused on teacher education advancement.

## Notice

TEAN, the Teacher Education Advancement Network, is an independent network for teacher educators, supported by the Institute of Education at the University of Cumbria. TEAN's aims for teacher education are: to enhance practice; support and promote innovation and development; and contribute to and help build research capacity. The TEAN conference offers an opportunity for colleagues to spend time together to share great practice and ideas. In a supportive and welcoming atmosphere you will be able to share ideas with an appreciative audience who will both encourage and challenge you. The TEAN conference is held over two days and it is important to make the most of the time available to us. In prior years we have had over 180 delegates as well as guest speakers. We are asking for tenderers to submit for the provision of the next 3 conferences (9th, 10th and 11th). The first conference will be the 9th annual conference to be held in May 2018.
