This contract, focused on services, falls under the industry category of education and training services, targeting the tourism and hospitality sectors within the UK region UKG31. The procurement is currently at the tender stage, with key deadlines including a submission deadline at noon on 27th October 2025. The tender uses an open procurement method, with the entire process managed through the Council’s e-tendering system, 'In-tend'. The contract is set to commence on 24th November 2025 and will run for five months, concluding on 31st March 2026. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training, particularly those with expertise in the tourism and hospitality industries. Companies with capabilities in designing and delivering skills development programmes, especially those addressing recruitment and management challenges, are well-suited to compete. The project aims to upskill current industry employees and attract individuals not currently engaged in employment, education, or training. Given the focus on leadership and volunteer management skills, businesses able to offer innovative solutions in these areas might find considerable growth potential through this contract. ## Notice Birmingham City Council (the Council) is seeking to appoint an organisation for the provision of Tourism & Hospitality Skills Bootcamp Pilot. It has been identified by VisitEngland (the national tourist board) that one of the most significant challenges faced by tourism businesses is the recruitment and retention of staff. This was heightened by the impacts of COVID-19 and with the UK leaving the European Union. Considering tourism businesses' ability to recruit staff, the lack of foundational people skills is perceived as the biggest challenge tourism businesses face. This was closely followed by management and leadership skills, when it comes to businesses' ability to deliver good service. Working with volunteers is another area that could be improved as some parts of the tourism sector are reliant on them. The Council is looking for a suitably qualified and experienced organisation to develop and pilot test a five-day tourism and hospitality skills bootcamp for two cohorts. 1. Employees working in the sector are seeking to upskill and take on management or supervision responsibilities. 2. Individuals who are not in employment, education or training seeking to enter the sector. The contract for the services will commence in November 2025 and will be in place for a period of 5 months.
