Can I win this?

Competition

Typical: a median of 2.5 bids per contract for this buyer (from 8 awards in the last 12 months).

Framework

Winning puts you on a list of suppliers the buyer can call on; it does not guarantee work.

What the notice says

Dorset Council is seeking a broad range of providers who can deliver these services across Children's Services and Adults Services. Training services will also be required by the Pan-Dorset Safeguarding Boards which cover the geographical areas of Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole. We are seeking a diverse range of training providers to join the Framework e.g. businesses of all sizes including sole traders and differing delivery methods. Dependent on needs, training courses will be delivered either: ‘live’ online, e-learning, face-to-face or a hybrid of these delivery methods. Providers do not need to be able to deliver training to both services in order to apply for a place on the Framework.

How to bid

  1. Read the full notice on Find a Tender, including any tender documents it links to.
  2. Follow the submission instructions in the notice; it does not name an e-tendering portal.
