This open tender, identified as SHEFCC001-DN569306-78534087, is currently in the active tender stage with a submission deadline of 4th October 2021. The training must be completed before the end of October 2021 and can be delivered virtually over a short period, accommodating up to 20 attendees at a time. The contract period is set to commence on 10th November 2021, lasting until 11th November 2022. This opportunity presents significant potential for training organisations that specialise in staff development, particularly those with experience in legal and housing policy training. Providers who can offer virtual learning solutions and demonstrate effective methods for engaging participants in essential legal frameworks will be well-positioned to compete. The growing emphasis on tackling homelessness in Sheffield suggests that successful bidders may find further opportunities for repeat courses as the Council expands its team in this vital area. ## Notice Sheffield City Council are looking for a training provider or company who can deliver external training to Council Housing staff. The training is to cover the specific requirements of delivering an authority's duties on the Homeless Reduction Act and the Domestic Abuse Bill. The course should cover, legal requirements, required approved authority standards; including how to complete a Personal Housing Plan and what constitutes a model standard of service to customers who are considered under the Homeless reduction act and the Domestic abuse bill. The course must not be more than 3-5 days long and must be delivered virtually over a 1, 2 or 3-week period. The course needs to be delivered before the end of October 2021. The course is originally a one-off course, however tackling homelessness is a priority for Sheffield City Council and more staff will be employed and redeployed to the homeless section. This will likely lead to repeat courses being purchased in the future. Electronic handouts, good practice guides and course notes must be distributed to the staff who attend the course for their future reference. As this course will be virtual the course can be delivered to multiple attendees, however attendees will not exceed more than 20 people at a time to ensure that all attendees absorb the information in a concise and measured way. A multiple-choice test at the end of the course would be desired to confirm all attendees have obtained a level of competency. The purpose of all the above is to build a Quality Assurance Framework to ensure our customers are being managed within the tolerances of the Homeless reduction act and the Domestic abuse bill. Suppliers are invited to pitch their product to Sheffield City Council via a virtual 1-hour presentation. A virtual "meet the buyer session" will be arranged to ensure providers are clear about the bidding process and the Councils ask of them. Contact information will be provided upon request by the supplier once intent to respond has been registered. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6b56e8e6-7cd8-421c-8cc4-64bd637b212b | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME, VCSE | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Sep 2021 | | Submission deadline | 4 Oct 2021 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 10 Nov 2021 - 11 Nov 2022 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL | | Locality | SHEFFIELD | | Post town | Sheffield | | Postcode | S1 4PL | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLE Yorkshire and The Humber | | ITL 2 | TLE3 South Yorkshire | | ITL 3 | TLE32 Sheffield | | Local authority | Sheffield | | Electoral ward | City | | Westminster constituency | Sheffield Central | | Delivery location | TLC North East (England), TLD North West (England), TLF East Midlands (England), TLG West Midlands (England), TLH East (England), TLJ South East (England), TLK South West (England) | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80511000 - Staff training services ## Release History - 13 Sep 2021 at 16:21 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6b56e8e6-7cd8-421c-8cc4-64bd637b212b ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/6b56e8e6-7cd8-421c-8cc4-64bd637b212b 13th September 2021 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=0f70ff95-ad14-ec11-810e-005056b64545 Advert ## Notice URLs - https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/ ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
