CCCO20A10 - Provision of Event Services for the National Leadership Centre

The Contracting Authority is seeking to procure Event services from an organisation or consortium for a single contract by holding a further competition via Open Market. This will be for the design, development and delivery of a one (1) day national leadership forum for delegates at Chief Executive or equivalent level in early Spring 2021, and the delivery of a regional event for up to 100 Chief Executive or equivalent leaders in Autumn 2020.

Additional information: Potential Providers must first be registered on the Crown Commercial Service e-Sourcing Suite in order to respond to the Procurement. If you have not yet registered on the e-Sourcing Suite, this can be done online at https://crowncommercialservice.bravosolution.co.uk following the link 'I am a New Supplier User'.

Please note that, to register and to enable any subsequent contract award, you must have a valid DUNS number (as provided by Dun and Bradstreet) for the organisation which you are registering. Potential Providers should note that it could take up to 10 working days to obtain a DUNS number.

Once you have registered on the eSourcing tool, you will be able to express your interest in this specific procurement. Your registered user will receive a notification email to alert them once this has been done.

Note: If you require additional users from your organisation to see the Invitation to Tender ITT, do not repeat the registration process as this will create a new separate organisation account; instead the registered user can add additional users to the existing supplier organisation account via "User Management" > "Manage Users" > "Users" > "Create".

1. Login to the eSourcing Suite portal;
2. On the dashboard select the link ITTs open to all suppliers;

4. Click on 'Express Interest' at the top of the next screen;
5. You can now access the published documents in the eSourcing Suite portal.

It is advised however that Potential Providers register as soon as practically possible in order to have a sufficient amount of time to respond.
