WYCA are currently in the process of strengthening EDI initiatives and associated plans. Resultantly, we are seeking the provision of EDI training programme in the forthcoming months. This project will be targeted at all employees at the Combined Authority, with approximately 700 employees completing the first session which will cover an introduction to EDI. With the remaining sessions being delivered to a split of staff depending on role need. The budget is £45000.00 for the initial 1 year period, with the budget for year 2 to be agreed, with a possibility for this requirement to split into Lots for delivery based on the training focuses. All information provided in this and the Supplier Engagement Session is informal at this stage and all details will be refined and agreed at tender stage.
