Description of work
We are looking to commission a service provider to design and deliver individually customised sales training to a number of university teams that are in the process of building a cybersecurity proof of concept (PoC) product, good or service.
The service provider should, through direct engagement with each University team, develop a customer persona for their product, good or service.
It is anticipated that the introductory session and main sales training workshop will be delivered in-person & Innovate UK Business Connect will arrange and provide suitable venues in London. Content should be adaptable for online delivery if in-person delivery is not possible.
It is expected that 14 University teams will be taking part in the PoC phase of CyberASAP including this Sales Training Programme.
Where appropriate we would also expect the service provider to provide ad-hoc mentoring for the teams around start-ups, development of MVPs and investment planning.

Design and development of course materials. Should include presentation slide material in electronic and printed form (bound in A4 or A5 format) for distribution to all delegates at the planned in-person sessions.
2.2 Delivery

• Sales training workshop: One day whole cohort sales training workshop on 4th November 2026 and one day sales practice workshop on 5th November 2026. The customer personas for each project will be used in the sales practice workshop in a series of role-play meetings with each project team in front of the whole CyberASAP cohort.
2.3 Feedback & Evaluation
Provide feedback directly to individual projects on their performance in the sales practice workshop including suggestions for improvements.
Provide consolidated feedback to Innovate UK Business Connect containing all individual project reports and a summary of outcomes from the training. This should also include recommendations on how the process could be enhanced in future years and direct feedback from the teams.

Leicester City Council is seeking to commission an accredited Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) Training Programme, including train-the-trainer training, training materials, accreditation and trainer support.

This gives potential providers and other stakeholders the opportunity to express their interests and feed in their views about the potential service model and specification principles. The commissioners will use the information to appraise options and further develop the specification.
This process does not constitute a formal tender or other competitive bidding process and will not result in the letting of a Contract. The authority is using this process solely to test the market to gather information and ascertain the level of interest in this particular service. There are therefore no formal criteria which we will use to judge your responses, and it is not our intention to provide any feedback.
