What is being bought5 lots · detail below
Published requirement descriptionThe total expected value for this is £9,600,000.00
The Environment Agency is refreshing its learning and development curriculum for leadership, management and personal effectiveness skills and are seeking providers to design, develop and deliver ‘interventions’.
We wish to engage, collaborate and work in partnership with suppliers who share our values and ambition to create a better place to work, where sustainability and equality, diversity and inclusion are at the heart of what we do and how we work.
We need to be bold, innovative and agile to enable us to effectively respond to the climate and nature emergency and implement our ambitious strategies. We need to adapt post-pandemic to embrace hybrid working and explore innovative ways of learning to support the diverse needs of our people as we work in new ways.
Our leaders need the skills and confidence to create an inclusive environment and to role model and encourage the behaviours that will enable our desired culture to thrive, where people are valued and trusted.
The framework will be structured into five lots across a range of key development areas that include;
Developing personal effectiveness,
Building management and leadership skills and harnessing leadership potential at all levels of the organisation,
Providing focused development options for our executive leadership population,
Providing online and digital resources to support team and individual development
We require equality, diversity and inclusion to be embedded throughout with sustainable approaches to accommodate hybrid working.
