## Description
The purpose of this Prior Information Notice (PIN) is to notify all interested parties of the
Cabinet Office's intention to undertake a commercial procurement exercise. The exercise aims to appoint a world-class Strategic Partner to provide a managed service. 
The Cabinet Office Briefing Rooms (COBR) Directorate requires a world-class strategic partner to co-design and co-deliver high-impact, targeted resilience workshops, scenario exercises, and potential follow-on consultancy to UK and international private sector clients. The primary objective is to operationalise resilience within the private sector by translating central government crisis doctrine and leadership expertise into actionable strategies for C-suite executives and operational leads, aligned with existing industry practice.  
COBR serves as the central hub for the UK Government's whole-of-government crisis response mechanism. National resilience is a whole-of-society endeavour. This partnership seeks to support business and organisational resilience by establishing a scalable framework for clients to adopt UK-standard crisis doctrine while creating a formal feedback loop where private sector insights directly inform future national resilience policies.
This agreement is a zero-cost contract to the public buyer. The Cabinet Office will not pay the partner. The successful supplier will bear all delivery and travel expenses, motivated by the commercial branding rights, reputational gains, and high-level insights gained from working alongside COBR. The partnership will operate on a 'Value for Money' basis for the taxpayer, using a revenue-sharing or licence fee model where the partner pays an agreed annual fee and/or percentage of gross workshop revenue to the Crown for the commercial use of COBR-branded materials and doctrine.
