What is being bought

Published requirement description

Cardiff University has recently established a Continuous Improvement Hub to oversee the delivery of

improved processes across the organisation. In February 2025 we trained a group of 40 staff in Lean

Competency System level 1b&c (yellow belt equivalent) and 12 in level 2 (green belt equivalent).

These 12 staff completed both yellow and green belt. We now wish to train further groups of staff to

the same level during the 25/26 academic year.

  • Price
What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
