## Summary

The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has completed a procurement process for an "Intellectual Property Deep Dive" training service. The procurement, categorised under training services, was conducted through an open procedure, with a contract value of £22,490. The service aimed to convert an existing four-day course into a seven-day virtual course, totalling 21 hours of training, intended to be completed by 31 March 2022. The tender period concluded on 14 April 2020, and the winning supplier, GLOBAL COUNSEL LTD, was awarded the contract on 22 September 2020.

This tender provides significant opportunities for businesses, particularly those specialising in educational services and training. Companies with experience in intellectual property and adult learning principles will find this contract particularly relevant, especially those capable of adapting course content for advanced learners in governmental contexts. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are encouraged to engage in similar future tenders given their inclusion in this procurement process.

## Notice

The supplier will adapt our current four-day course on Intellectual Property (IP) into a seven-day virtual version. Each session will be no more than three hours in length, totalling a maximum 21 hours of training. We will provide existing materials including PowerPoint slides, handouts and case studies. The supplier will use this material as the basis for the seven-day virtual course, using expertise and judgement to weed out content not required. They will adapt the existing material and produce new slides and materials of a similar standard and knowledge level, considering adult learning principles. They must also produce comprehensive facilitator notes that would enable another subject matter expert (SME) to deliver the training if required. They supplier will also deliver the seven-day virtual course to approximately 20 adult learners from across different government departments. The learners will have experience working on IP and an understanding of key trade concepts, institutions and architecture. The level of the course should be high, aimed at those with at least one year working exclusively on IP. Participants should be challenged and the course should not cover basic information or content included on the Trade Faculty practitioner level. Upon completing the course, the supplier will provide the Trade Faculty with the course facilitation notes. Deliverables: *Adapt existing four-day course into a maximum of 21 hours training of similar standard and level. Produce relevant slides and handouts and develop comprehensive facilitator notes using Trade Faculty branded templates. Completed two weeks prior to first day of course. *One iteration of the Intellectual Property Deep Dive course. *Potential to deliver further iterations before 31 March 2022, subject to agreement by both parties.
