The Council are looking to commission an online portal for green skills that promotes and shares examples of good practice for residents, businesses and employers and hosts links to items such as: - Green Skills Prospectus and Directory. - Green Jobs Workforce and sector information. - Micro-modules targeting school leavers and FE learners at level 1 and 2. - Bite Size courses for residents and businesses. - Ten questions individuals and businesses should ask themselves to ensure they are adequately informed about green skills. It is hoped that the portal will allow a one stop shop approach to green skills information and resources for our residents, businesses and providers and may also signpost to other resources. This portal is a new endeavour, and no date has been set yet for the tender process to commence. This exercise will provide an opportunity for the Council to obtain insight into what the marketplace already has to offer and how potential providers might approach the commissioning of the services in question. It also gives useful early insight into the likely level of interest from that market. This will help shape the requirement. Any information gathered will not be considered in any future tender evaluation exercise. Participation or non-participation in this pre-procurement market engagement shall not prevent any supplier/provider participating in a potential procurement process nor is it intended that any information supplied shall place any supplier/provider at an advantage in any forthcoming procurement process. Answers to questions submitted should be no more than 500 words per question and should be submitted to , no later than 5:00p.m. on 22/03/2023.
