Specifically the work will include: • A skills, values and behaviours audit for the sector, taking into consideration the importance of diversity (in its broadest sense).This should include data on job specifications and salaries. This will provide a baseline showing what skills, values and behaviours currently exist and where the gaps are. • An analysis of the skills, behaviours and values needed in the future and looking ahead 10 years.; drawing on influential thinking and practice from within and beyond the sector. This should also identify current barriers to workforce development. • An investigation into how skills, values and behaviours can be nurtured and developed in all parts of the workforce, including volunteers. This should draw on best practice and take into account qualifications and awards, pay, work based learning and training provision, and recruitment. • An analysis of how pay levels reflect and impact on the skills, values and behaviours. • Recommendations for how the sector can recruit and develop a diverse and resilient workforce with the necessary skills, values and behaviours. ## CPV classification Research consultancy services Source Contracts Finder (UK) [View official notice](https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/notice/0103bcfb-adc9-11e6-9901-0019b9f3037b) Never miss a tender like this again Get AI summaries, deadline alerts and a bid pipeline for tenders matched to your business.
