Helping you to prepare for the Procurement Act
New tendering rules and process will be introduced in the UK on 24 Feb 2025 | Visit our Procurement Act Hub to learn about these changes, and what you can do to prepare.
These terms and conditions (the “Terms“) set out the basis upon which we will supply and you will attend, any training course provided by us. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before signing up to any of the training courses listed at Tenders Direct (www.tendersdirect.co.uk) (the “Site“) or before providing payment.
In these Terms, references to “we/us/our” means Proactis Tenders Limited (company registration number SC115090), registered office AB1 Building, 48 Huntly Street, Aberdeen, Scotland, AB10 1SH. Proactis Tenders Limited is a group company of Proactis Holdings PLC. References to “you/your” means the company or organisation that you are acting on behalf of. You need to be aware that when you sign up for a training course, you are acting on behalf of the company that you work for and we have the right to treat you as having full authority to bind that organisation.
These Terms cover the training courses that you have selected and together with any documents referred to in these Terms, will form the entire agreement between us and you.
You can book to attend courses at our Site or over the phone by calling 0800 222 9009. You should understand that by signing up to a training course through our Site or by phone, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions.
Once your registration for a training course has been successfully processed, you will receive an email confirming your name of the course, course timing, and location of delivery.
The charges for our training courses are set out in the price list which can be found on our website at https://www.tendersdirect.co.uk/training/. All charges listed are exclusive of any taxes that are or may become applicable (such as VAT), and all charges are payable in Pounds Sterling.
Charges are payable by credit or debit card (Visa or Mastercard only, American Express is not accepted). You must provide a current, valid, accepted payment card (“Payment Card“).
In exceptional circumstances, we may invoice for payment. If an invoice is required, please contact us on 0800 222 9009 to request an invoice. For payment by invoice, we require full contact details and a purchase order number.
All charges for our training courses are payable in advance. All invoices must be paid within 30 days of receipt or 14 calendar days before the start of the course you are booked on, whichever comes first. Any bookings made within those 14 days must be paid in full at the point of booking.
We reserve the right to recover any charges incurred as a result of any debt recovery action relating to invoices not paid in full by 14 calendar days before the start of the course (an “Administration Charge“).
You can cancel your course up to 14 calendar days before the start of the course and receive a full refund on the course price. Cancellations in this time period will only be accepted in writing via our contact us page or by email to support@tendersdirect.co.uk. Cancellations notified within 14 working days of the start of the course will be treated as follows:
If you or any of your delegates do not attend the booked course(s), and have not informed us by at least 14 calendar days before the start of the course, no refund will be offered. However, at the discretion of the training and consultancy team you may be able to transfer your booking to a later date. If a transfer is authorised any Administration Charge paid by you will be returned.
We reserve the right to cancel the event or change trainers due to circumstances beyond our control. Where possible, we will try to notify you about a cancelled course at least two weeks before the course start date (however we will not be bound to do so).
