Description

The University of Portsmouth (specifically the Faculty of Business and Law) delivers business support programmes on behalf of Government, private businesses, local authorities and at the request of individuals. These programmes typically take the form of (but are not limited to) online and face to face sessions blended with 1- coaching, peer networking activities and online learning opportunities.

The university is entering a period of increased activity with multiple contracts being developed and delivered that will require industry experienced practitioners able to converse and facilitate around an academic topic with their peers. The university is keen to develop resilience of resources in this area to ensure it can respond quickly to delivery requirements.

The University is looking to set up an arrangement that they can easily call off to suitably qualified and experienced providers.

This is being procured using the Light Touch Regime under the regulations.
