Description

Scope of Contract
The contract will cover a 3-year period and deliver the programme for 3 cohorts during that period, but subject to formal annual reviews.
The contract will include programme design, delivery, supporting learning materials and administrative support. In addition to costs associated with developing the programme, the bidder will be expected to absorb all non-venue costs and expenses associated with delivery, including, but not limited to, administrative support, faculty travel, accommodation and catering costs (except where catering is provided at the venue as part of the formal event programme) within their quotation.
Meeting rooms, refreshments and catering (where applicable) at Southern House will be made available to accommodate the WCR programme at no charge to the bidder, subject to sufficient notice. Should Southern House no longer be an option then HEE will source a suitable, value-for-money alternative venue at no additional cost to the bidder.
It is anticipated that the equivalent of at least 5 full day facilitated sessions would be delivered for each cohort over the duration of the contract. Your bid should be based around face-to-face delivery for facilitated modules, unless you are able to justify suitable alternatives, and even where face-to-face delivery is selected as the format, there must be contingency in place to switch to virtual delivery as necessary.
