Design of Content for Exporting Skills Workshops

Descriptions

East Midlands Business Limited (EMB) wishes to commission a contractor to design a series of Skills for Export workshops. Initially these will be delivered virtually but ultimately they will be delivered on a face-to-face basis at a variety of locations in England. EMB is a Delivery Partner for the Department for International Trade (DIT), covering the East Midlands region. For this procurement we are acting on behalf of DIT and representing the interests of our fellow Delivery Partners in the North East, North West, Yorkshire & Humber, the West Midlands and the South West. Delivery Partners provide a targeted programme of advice, events and financial support designed to encourage and assist SMEs and larger organisations in the English Regions to exploit opportunities in overseas markets. This is a pilot phase of a programme that will ultimately be delivered England-wide. The working title for this programme is the Regional Growth Service (RGS) but could be subject to change. This requirement covers the 'Educate' element of DIT's new RGS programme. This procurement is a single Lot for workshop design and includes a requirement for an accompanying electronic workbook which complements workshop delivery. Further details of the requirement are set out in the Tender Specification. Content & workbook design must be complete by 14th September 2020 so bidders must have the capacity to meet this deadline which cannot be extended. The total available budget for the commission is envisaged to be within the range of £8,000 - £12,000 (exclusive of VAT, if applicable). Deadline for submission of tender responses is 12.00 noon, 24 August 2020.
