What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionThis tendering exercise is being undertaken using the electronic tendering system ‘City of London Corporation Sourcing & Contracts Portal’ (cityoflondon.ukp.app.jaggaer.com ↗). Suppliers will need to register an interest on the system in order to participate and registration is free.
This procurement relates to the hire of commercial training venues for use by the Economic Crime and Cyber Academy predominantly in the City of London.
The aim of this procurement project is to identify a commercial venue provider that meets the ECCA’s requirements for high quality venues and first-class customer service. The ECCA has been providing training services to law enforcement, government departments and private organisations for many years and has an excellent reputation for the delivery of its training, thus, high quality training venues are intrinsic to the product provided. This procurement relates to the hire of commercial training venues for use by the Economic Crime and Cyber Academy at locations across the UK that are near cities such as Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, Bristol and London. All venues must have good transport links.
There is no requirement to provide overseas venues. The requirement is for at least one London venue and two other locations across the UK. The failure to provide the minimum number of requested venues will result in disqualification from the process. Multiple rooms are required within each venue.
he ECCA is therefore seeking high quality venues for education and training with purpose-built classrooms varying in size depending on the number of delegates attending the course. The usual optimum number of delegates is 12, although this can be extended to 14. There will be up to 2 trainers present as well. Smaller breakout rooms are also desirable when required.
The contract duration is for 1-year, with the option to extend for 3 further years, in 1-year increments. Therefore the contract duration is 4 years.
- No preliminary market engagement: Suppliers already known to the oraganisation via a previous inhouse bokoing system and procurement.
