This procurement is classified under the guidance and counselling services industry, and the tender period is set to close on 20 July 2018. A key information event for potential suppliers will take place in Portcullis House, Westminster, on 26 April 2018, from 9 am to 11 am, to discuss contract requirements and the procurement process. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in guidance and counselling services, particularly those experienced in providing independent advice and investigation services. With the potential to support Members of Parliament and their staff, contractors with a focus on sensitive issues such as harassment and conflict resolution would be particularly well-suited for this engagement. The contract will commence on 1 September 2018 and is expected to last until 30 August 2021, allowing for substantial business growth within this vital sector. ## Notice The Parliamentary Working Group on an Independent Complaints and Grievance Policy published a report in February which recommended that new policies and independent advice and investigation services should be developed for bullying and harassment, and sexual harassment in Parliament. As a result, the Houses of Parliament intend to procure a supplier/s to deliver an independent sexual harassment support and advice service and an independent sexual harassment investigation service for MPs, Peers, MPs' staff and Peers' staff. An information event will be held for potential suppliers to find out about the contract requirements and the procurement process for these services. The event will be held in Portcullis House, Westminster, on 26 April at 9am - 11am.
