Description

Essex County Council has conducted an Open Procedure under Light Touch Regime for the procurement of the below requirements. The scope of this requirement is to deliver Continuous Improvement and Change training and mentoring across Essex County Council. Whilst both are in scope, Change Capability has been added as an additional service. There could be potential for the range of services to change, the scope of work, to expand or reduce; furthermore, the range of materials could increase, decrease or for new products to be included or substituted as technology develops. Where there is a requirement for additional services then Bidders were asked to ensure themselves that they meet these requirements, before submitting their response. There is no guarantee that these services will be required. The size of cohorts and number of sessions per annum will be agreed by all parties prior to commencement of the services. The number of sessions per annum may vary dependant on demand. The main location of the population is County Hall, Chelmsford, Essex. However, ECC staff work on a hybrid basis (incorporating working from other locations, alongside working from the office as required). Contract length of 36 months with no extension options.
