We are creating a learning environment where learning is linked to collaboration and knowledge sharing much more tightly. Organisational change has led to changes in the way ECC employees develop their skills and training, these are linked to individual development plans along with more structured training focused on five pillars of knowledge and behaviours; Managing Myself, Being the best I can be, Working at ECC, ### Working within the system, and Driving a culture of improvement. This structure will be maintained but the content will change over time. How ECC delivers this training is changing and therefore how ECC procures these services is also changing. ECC's Learning & Development and Procurement teams are currently working on possible options to deliver a service which is flexible, embraces emerging delivery techniques, collaboration across service providers and in general provide a blended approach. In order to develop and inform those options ECC is taking the opportunity to engage with the Training market prior to formalising any tender process. This engagement is looking at two particular areas where we would welcome service provider feedback/opinion. These are • Form of agreement, framework or dynamic purchasing system (DPS) • Delivery There are a number of questions we would like service providers to provide feedback on, the information received will inform as to how we will approach the market to meet our needs. A spreadsheet is available for you to complete and return to by 12 noon Friday 22nd May 2020. Additional information: Please note that at this point in time a decision has not been as to when a tender notice will be issued, it is however envisaged that a tender exercise may take place late June / early July.
