Tender description

Department of Business and Trade are conducting soft market testing as a process for engaging with potential training providers before utilising a formalised route to market. Early market engagement allows us to get a better understanding from the market on what is possible and what would be needed in order to fulfil a contract between us. A capability questionnaire has been provided within this information pack, responses will be reviewed, and questions and answers anonymised prior to circulating. Please respond to the questionnaire via the email address attached to this notice. Additional information: The project objectives A training solution is required for the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS) Regulatory Information and Intelligence Team. The team performs a regulatory intelligence and information reporting function for OPSS. The team has gone through a 12-month period of intense recruitment which adds to the existing established intelligence staff already present on the team. The team is made up from a variety of backgrounds varying from established Intelligence backgrounds to no Intelligence experience whatsoever. The topic of Intelligence training can be a niche requirement and OPSS as a national product regulator is seeking heavily contextualised intelligence training that is a step removed from traditional law enforcement or Police focussed intelligence training. A training provider would need to work extensively with the Intelligence team to help understand the nature of their day-to-day activity to help contextualise any content and scenarios/group work to suit a regulatory Intelligence environment.
