## Summary

The procurement process is led by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport, focusing on the "International Tech Hub Network" initiative aimed at developing sustainable digital ecosystems. This process falls under the services industry category, specifically technical training services with a contract value of £45,000. The procurement method used was a direct single tender action, with the tender period concluding on 19 February 2019. The contract period spans from 20 February 2019 to 30 April 2019, with all activities based in the United Kingdom.

This tender presents opportunities for growth particularly for businesses experienced in providing technical training services aimed at fostering digital skills and entrepreneurship. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-suited to compete for this contract, as the procurement process encourages their participation. Businesses focused on enhancing digital skills for under-represented groups, such as women and rural populations, may find this project aligns closely with their expertise and mission, fostering social inclusion in the evolving digital landscape.

## Notice

The aim of the Tech Hubs is to build sustainable digital ecosystems across the partner country through tailored interventions to cultivate digital skills and entrepreneurship, ensuring the benefits of technology are used to improve the lives of poor and marginalised groups, and to support social inclusion and poverty reduction. The Tech Hub will support partner country entrepreneurship and innovation as a path to employment and financial prosperity in places with limited job opportunities, and address under-representation of marginalised cohorts (e.g. women, rural populations) in the digital sector.
