Lot #1Gateway workshopsPublished value£30,000
It is intended that "hot" topics or other pertinent issues will be identified and small events or workshops will be held that focus on the subject matter.These workshops will be delivered mainly online due to not having a designated events space for in person workshops. However opportunities may arise for in person workshops if event space becomes available at no charge.They will act as a gateway to further support from the Team – whether that be from the 121 consultancy programme or anything else that may be relevant.There will be an expectation that approved panel members will work with the Invest Telford team when requested, to identify topics for workshops based on known demand from businesses.Workshops are charged by the hour (hourly rate is £125) invoices will include costs for delivery time and in certain circumstances ‘prep time’ – prep time is defined as the creation of a new workshop topic at the request of the event organiser or the significant amendment of an existing workshop topic. The inclusion of prep time is at the agreement of the Project Manager.When the workshop is delivered virtually it takes the following format;
- Maximum length for an online workshop is 2 hours
- Course materials/presentations must be provided by consultants
- If you decide that the workshop would be supported by the provision of handouts/accompanying documents – then this is included in the core delivery time cost and cannot be paid for separately or in addition to.
- The consultant will host the workshop via their chosen platform and provide the joining instructions to the event organiser so they can be sent out to attendees the day before the event is scheduled.
- The event organiser will attend the beginning of workshops to welcome and promote Invest Telford business services.
- Feedback forms will be issues via email by the event organiser. Additional information: There is no guarantee of the volume of work, or if call-off contracts will be awarded for any or all Lots, during the lifetime of the DPS

About this data
- Source. Official UK public procurement notices (Find a Tender), reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0. New notices arrive through the day; the figures are rebuilt nightly.
- Two views, kept apart. The authority’s own track record and the wider market for the same kind of work sit side by side and are never mixed. Where the local picture is too thin, a figure widens to a broader market and says which one it used.
- Forecasts are labelled. The price forecast and its range, possible competitors and the earlier-work matches are our estimates from past awards: not published facts, not win chances and not price advice. Official notices do not say who is bidding.
- Every figure shows what it rests on. Not every notice publishes a bid count, a value or a delivery region, so each figure carries the number of records behind it, and one built on few records is marked as such. The on a figure explains it; the counting rules are in the methodology. Spotted something wrong? Tell us.
