IT Services wishes to ensure that staff are appropriately trained and where appropriate certified and so wish to have a training provider that can support such a department.

The department spends in the region of £150,000 a year on training.

IT Services are looking for a company that can provide a mixture of self and tutor led learning, both on-line and in person, and facilitate certification if required.

Examples of courses included within the Requirements & Briefing Note Document attached to the PQQ.

This builds on the Authority's commitment to engage with the market, by sharing information and seeking input from the market to enable us to develop the final specification and determine the appropriate route to market in a fair and transparent manner.
