Tender description

Hertfordshire County Council (the “Council”) is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement (“PPME”) in relation to the provision of HR learning and development services. The council will consider the feedback received to help inform the council’s options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process and the council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation’s own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council. The council currently has a contract for the provision of learning and development services. This contract is due to end on 22.2.2019 and with a number of key challenges and drivers that have a direct impact on the relevance, content and delivery of the corporate L&D interventions plus the future direction of learning and development within the organisation beyond February 2019, the council is exploring the options to re-tender the requirement under a revised model. Further details can be seen in the project brief in the PPME document.
