Published requirement description

We are looking to establish a preferred supplier list for technical training and qualifications. To give us the flexibility we need, suppliers should ideally be able to source individual places on public courses, as well as provide tailored group solutions to be delivered onsite at our GMC offices or offsite if required. We may also require the successful supplier to help provide and develop digital solutions and also provide digital learning offerings in lieu of face to face training as and when required. This element is particularly relevant currently with the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

We’ve split this tender into two areas or lots. The lots are:

A. Information Systems

B. Accredited Project Management/LEAN Practices

Suppliers may bid for a single lot or both lots.

CPV: Technical training services

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
