Project Management (PM) skills can be beneficial in many roles outside of official project management roles. The Programmes Team in Historic England have developed guidance and tools for managing small and medium size projects. The guidance is influenced by Prince2 and the APM approach. We expect a supplier to take this guidance into consideration when designing the training.Most of the training is aimed at staff who run projects as part of their role but are not project managers and have no desire to become project managers. Many of our senior managers who are now SROs have no project management training. We envisage a suite of courses to support staff in different roles and with different needs. The courses can build on each other but need to give people the chance to skip a level if they already have the knowledge.Course 1: Introduction to project managementWhat is it, what is it not, when to deploy it, when not to use it, how to adapt it to projects of different size, scope and risk. Benefits of project management. Understand RAID. We are looking for this course to be a 1 day session and it needs to give people an understanding of what project management is and what it involves. Course 2: Manage a small to medium sized project using the Historic England guidance. Project Design. RACI. RAID. Planning. Monitoring project delivery. Closing a project. Responsibility of a project manager compared to other roles - SRO, project content lead (if available), delivery team, change manager. We are looking for this course to be 2 day session and it needs to give people the knowledge and skills to run small to medium sized projects effectively and confidently as part of their day to day job. Course 3: Be an effective SRO. We are looking for this course to be no longer than 3.5 hours and explore the role of the SRO, responsibilities and the relationship to project manager and project lead as well as change manager. Decision making in a project structure. Chairing project boards effectively. This course needs to give SROs a clear understanding of their responsibilities.Objectives * Enable staff to have a general understanding of the principles of project management (Course 1)* Enable staff from various functions to run small and medium sized projects successfully in line with our project guidance (Course 2)* Ensure SROs understand their role and how they interact with other roles in the project governance (Course 3)* Ensure SROs can run project boards effectively (Course 3)We expect a high demand for Course 2. The SRO training might need to be offered to smaller groups more frequently. Lot 2 - Project Management Training Lot 2 - Project Management Qualification trainingThere are a significant number of staff whose role focuses heavily on project management tools and techniques and some wish to have some formal qualification in project management. Others want to move into project management as a career and require a formal qualification.We are looking to provide those with the opportunity to gain a qualification to industry standard. It would be beneficial that the course is also in-line with APM and Prince 2 principles. Objectives:* Enable staff to run small, medium or major projects with a structured and con-sistent approach to start, deliver and end of projects* Increase project management skills and competences across the organisation* Delivery of Prince2 or APM qualification* Recognised qualification to industry standard * Formal assessment as part of the qualification ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036219-2023 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 8 Dec 2023 | | Submission deadline | 8 Jan 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 1 Mar 2024 - 28 Feb 2027 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £115,000 | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Active | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | L AND D TRAINING PROVISION- PROJECT MANAGEMENT TRAINING | | Locality | SWINDON | | Post town | Swindon | | Postcode | SN2 2EH | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLK South West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLK7 Gloucestershire and Wiltshire | | ITL 3 | TLK71 Swindon | | Local authority | Swindon | | Electoral ward | Mannington and Western | | Westminster constituency | Swindon South | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services - 92 - Recreational, cultural and sporting services ### Codes - 80500000 - Training services - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80511000 - Staff training services - 80521000 - Training programme services - 80531200 - Technical training services - 80532000 - Management training services - 92312212 - Services related to the preparation of training manuals ## Release History - 8 Dec 2023 at 13:32 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/036219-2023 ## Notice URLs - https://historicengland.org.uk/ - https://in-tendhost.co.uk/historicengland/aspx/Home ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
