This tender is classified under specialist training services with an estimated budget of £5.82 million, which includes core funding of up to £3.5 million for the first three rounds, along with an option for additional activities. The procurement process is scheduled to begin with a supplier engagement session on 7th June 2021, with further details expected by 12th July 2021. The initiative will primarily take place in Swindon, UK, and aims to develop a collaborative network for up to 300 fellows while promoting the involvement of a wider community of early-career researchers. This tender presents a significant opportunity for consultancy firms specialising in development and business consultancy services to engage with UKRI and contribute to shaping the future of research and innovation in the UK. Businesses that can provide innovative training solutions, mentorship programmes, and networking activities tailored for emerging leaders in research will be particularly well-suited to compete. With the emphasis on leadership development and collaborative opportunities, this is an ideal chance for enterprises focused on educational services, professional development, and capacity building within the research sector to expand their reach and impact. ## Notice This PIN is being issued in order to undertake a market consultation exercise with regards to the requirements detailed in Section 2. UKRI would like to invite suppliers to attend an engagement session in order to assess the market's appetite for procuring the proposed FLF Development Network 2, to provide information regarding the tender, the expected outcomes from the network, and to enable suppliers an opportunity to ask questions regarding the FLF Development Network 2 and these expected outcomes. We request that attendance is restricted to key members of your organisation. For clarity, this notice is not a Call for Competition; a Contract Notice will be issued as a call for competition. Not registering an interest shall not prevent any supplier participating in a future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the preliminary market consultation shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The supplier day information presented in this PIN is for an upcoming UKRI Tender to develop a FLF Development Network 2. UKRI is looking to take advantage of the unique opportunities presented by the cohorts of FLF (Rounds 4,5,6) and potentially further fellows supported by UKRI through the associated activities of this Network.

This proposed network should: * Create a strong cohort experience; * Develop the leadership skills of the fellows; * Enable the fellows to play a leadership role across the research and innovation community; * Create deep links with UKRI and its investments. Estimated total value: PS5.82+ Core requirement for up to PS3.5 million for Rounds 4, 5 & 6. Option for up to PS2.32 million for further activity.
