Procurement for Management & Leadership Development Programme

JANET(UK) has selected The Oxford Group Consulting & Training as preferred supplier.

JANET (UK) wishes to enter into a contract for the provision of a management and leadership development programme for the company's staff. The company has identified a need to develop non-technical management and leadership skills across the management team and seeks to identify partners with whom it will work to deliver a development programme. The programme should be designed for delivery to groups of managers from different technical and administrative backgrounds and also of varying levels of seniority in terms of job weight.

The Prequalification questionnaire (PQQ) is available electronically below as a Word file and an Adobe PDF file.

Clarifications

As matters for clarification arise they will be answered by JANET(UK) and made available on the JANET(UK) e-tendering opportunities portal. Suppliers that have registered their intent to submit a proposal will be notified each time this is updated.

Registration

Suppliers should note that before submitting a response to the PQQ they must register their intent to do this with JANET(UK).

Each potential supplier must register on the new JANET(UK) e-tendering opportunities portal at https://tenders.ja.net. Each potential supplier must register as a system user if they are a first time user of the JANET(UK) portal, which is a one-off activity. Once accepted by JANET(UK), each supplier will receive a username and password that should be used for all future accesses to the system. The only time that JANET(UK) will reject a supplier is if there is an attempt to have a duplicate registration for a supplier. Also, please note that this first time registration is not a registration for a particular contract, it is only the registration of the user on the JANET(UK) portal. When username and password are received, then a supplier must log in and then register their interest in a specific contract. It is recommended that a generic mailbox (such as sales@supplier) is set up, so that information from the system can be sent to more than one representative at the company.
