Design and Delivery of a Train-the-Trainer Service for the Diverse Angel Syndicates Programme
Background - The Diverse Angel Syndicate (DAS) Programme supports the development and sustainability of diversity-focused angel syndicates across the UK. The programme aims to broaden participation in angel investing, increase investment into diverse founders, and strengthen the capability of emerging angel syndicates across the UK nations and regions. DAS places a particular emphasis on engaging and supporting new and novice angels, with the aim of broadening access to angel investing as an asset class and improving confidence, capability and participation among underrepresented groups. The programme is expected to support approximately 10–15 syndicates, delivered through three cohorts of up to five syndicates each, in addition to the current cohort of five.
Successful applicants will receive a package of financial and non-financial support, including funding for operational costs, training and capability-building, guidance on operational tooling and infrastructure, and access to peer learning and ecosystem connections through the programme.
Tender Description - As part of the non-financial support offer, British Business Bank Plc (“British Business Bank” or “BBB” or “Buyer) is seeking to procure a training provider to design, deliver, and support a Train-the-Trainer education programme for angel syndicate leads across the United Kingdom. The aim of this programme is to upskill syndicate leads to deliver consistent, high-quality training to their own syndicate members.
BBB anticipates that the contract will span a period of up to four years. During this time, supported syndicates are expected to continue recruiting new angel investors on a rolling basis. As such, the training requirement is expected to be front-loaded, with an initial focus on programme design, content development and early delivery, followed by a transition to a lighter-touch model in later years. This is likely to include ongoing support, updates to training materials, and periodic engagement to maintain quality and relevance.
The training offer is expected to be modular in structure and designed to:
support angel activation and portfolio understanding for new / novice angels
enable syndicates to tailor delivery to their own membership base
establish a minimum standard of training across supported syndicates
ensure clarity of purpose and avoid duplication between syndicate development and angel education

CCTV Broad Green
It is proposed that a comprehensive phased strategy combining both temporary and permanent camera locations to deliver immediate safety enhancements while minimising unnecessary expenditure. The approach encompasses the deployment of a selection of temporary and permanent camera units, the installation of two new CCTV columns, and the installation of two external communications cabinets. Permanent equipment will be positioned in areas where site layout is confirmed, while temporary placements are designated for high risk zones (e.g., hoardings) pending finalisation of AfA/ticket office plans and be relocated as required. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the Marlowe cameras will remain operational until the definitive station configuration is established and the overall CCTV design is refined. This ensures that the coverage and functionality currently provided by the Marlowe cameras will be maintained through the strategic placement of new camera units, as temporary positions at the hoardings do not offer adequate surveillance to fully replace the Marlowe system. This option uses completed ES5 designs, IDC/IDR signoff, AFC drawings and a full bill of materials.
