This procurement falls under the services category, specifically training services (CPV code 80500000), and is part of a special regime for utilities. The project is located in the UKH32 region of the United Kingdom. The procurement method is an open competition, not above the threshold, with key deadlines, including the end of the tender period on 16 September 2025 and the enquiry period ending on 1 September 2025. The preferred partner is expected to be finalised by September 2025 to prepare for the facility's opening in April 2026. This tender represents a substantial opportunity for business growth, particularly for firms specialising in training and educational services, including small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Companies and consortiums with experience in managing large-scale training initiatives and a strong understanding of educational development models would be well-suited to compete. Notably, the opportunity involves a significant engagement period, offering an initial three-year contract with the possibility of a two-year extension. Businesses that can demonstrate robust delivery methodologies and innovative solutions in the education and training sector stand to gain a strategic partnership with a major port operator at this purpose-built facility. ## Notice DP World the owner and operator of London Gateway Port Limited is seeking Expressions of Interest from companies, organizations and consortiums interested in acting as a partner and umbrella organization to manage, add-value, act as a focal point and coordinate the identified training, education and development needs at the facility (and potentially at other identified locations). It is anticipated that the successful partner will enter a 3-year contract with DP World, with the option for an extension of a further 2 years. Interest notifications should include details and experience of the potential partner and outline commentary on their proposed delivery methodology, needs expectations, commissioning model and financial arrangements. Shortlisted parties will then be invited to a meeting to discuss further the proposed partnership. It is DP Worlds expectation that a preferred partner will be identified by September so that plans for the first year of operation can be made in advance of opening of the facility in April 2026. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Renewal: It is anticipated that the successful partner will enter a 3-year contract with DP World, with the option for an extension of a further 2 years. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Find A Tender Service | | Latest notice | https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017293-2025 | | Notice type | UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Below threshold - open competition | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Planning | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Apr 2025 | | Submission deadline | 16 Sep 2025 | | Future notice date | 1 Jul 2025 | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 31 Mar 2026 - 2 Apr 2029 | | 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 | Planned | | Lots status | Planned | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | LONDON GATEWAY PORT LIMITED | | Locality | STANFORD-LE-HOPE | | Post town | Southend-on-Sea | | Postcode | SS17 9DY | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLH East (England) | | ITL 2 | TLH3 Essex | | ITL 3 | TLH32 Thurrock | | Local authority | Thurrock | | Electoral ward | Corringham and Fobbing | | Westminster constituency | South Basildon and East Thurrock | | Delivery location | TLH32 Thurrock | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80500000 - Training services ## Release History - 28 Apr 2025 at 12:01 - Planning - UK3 - Planned Procurement Notice - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017293-2025 ## Documents - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/017293-2025 28th April 2025 - Planned procurement notice on Find a Tender - https://www.find-tender.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/A-842 ## Notice URLs - https://ehpv.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/fscmUI/redwood/supplier-registration/register-supplier/register-supplier-verification?id=FIFYpJqSoI/wWWCVBWXOv3JIG0AwVEEqvPV5VgkAKJ9EDsR2zv/oxRNBKA== - https://www.dpworld.com/london-gateway - https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2023/54/contents ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
