United Utilities has gone out to tender with a framework contract for project and programme management related training services worth an estimated £10 million.
The contract involves providing a training resource for United Utilities Projects where business as usual (BAU) resource or alternative internal resource is unavailable.
The contract is being tendered in two Lots:
Lot 1: Systems and digital design / delivery - relates to new IT systems that UU are implementing or upgrades to existing systems currently installed. (£5m)
Lot 2: Generic training design and delivery - primarily consists of the need to provide project design and delivery where the business change relates to process, system, behavioural or cultural change and there is a requirement for soft skills design and delivery or a more facilitative approach to training delivery. (£5m)
United Utilities is looking to award two framework agreements for each Lot.
Any agreements will be awarded for an initial period of 3 years with options to extend for up to a maximum term of 8 years.
