Published requirement description

The City of London Corporation (the City) invites Tenders for the provision of a supplier to provide the ECCA with suitable training venues at various locations across the UK that are near UK cities such as Birmingham, Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, Bristol and London. All venues must be close to good public transport links. There is no requirement to provide overseas venues. The requirement is for at least one London venue and two other locations across the UK. The failure to provide the minimum number of requested venues will result in disqualification from the process.

Multiple rooms are required within each venue.

This ITT to identify a commercial venue provider that meets the ECCA’s requirements for high quality venues and first-class customer service. The ECCA has been providing training services to law enforcement, government departments and private organisations for many years and has an excellent reputation for the delivery of its training, thus, high quality training venues are intrinsic to the product provided.

The ECCA is therefore seeking high quality venues for education and training with purpose-built classrooms varying in size depending on the number of delegates attending the course. The usual optimum number of delegates is 12, although this can be extended to 14. There will be up to 2 trainers present as well. Smaller breakout rooms are also desirable when required.
