The value of activity under this framework is estimated up to £250,000 inclusive of VAT until 31st March 2027, we are unable to estimate the value of any possible extension. The maximum value of the training modules contained in this tender inclusive of VAT are as follows:

3) Account Management Best Practice (£33k).

5) Agile Marketing and Social Communications/Social Media Marketing Skills (£11k).

Training providers selected to deliver this training, will be identified and prioritised through a network wide survey of skills and experience, designed to help stream and inform discussions with Growth Hubs about the distribution of training as part of an initial first wave of training to March 2027.

We are looking for providers with proven delivery experience and comprehensive subject matter expertise for each topic and therefore seek to minimise applications across multiple lots.

How Tenderoo reads it

This is a framework agreement: a place on it puts you on the buyer's approved list, which they call work off from over the term. It is not a single job, and a small firm can hold a place alongside national suppliers.

The notice reads as suitable for a small or medium-sized firm: the scope, value and requirements are within reach of a business of that size.

The contract runs for about 4 months.
