Published requirement description

We are looking to establish a preferred supplier for external 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 require the successful supplier to be able to provide digital learning offerings in lieu of face to face training as and when required. Occasionally we may also need providers to work with us collaboratively on bespoke group training requests.

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

a) Information Systems – LOT A

b) Accredited Project Management/LEAN Practices – LOT B;

Suppliers can bid for one or both lots.

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