Notice Information

Notice Title

Refresh of GO Science Futures Toolkit Training

Notice Description

This is not a call for competition, this is an award off a framework. One of our most popular resources is the Futures Toolkit (2017). The Futures Toolkit has been refreshed. We need to update our training offer to align with the new Toolkit. We chose to contract sequentially and separately for the training so that companies tendering could base their bids on a near-published draft. We will share the pdf with all confirmed interested bidders. The contract will cover 1. Design, piloting, finalising and ongoing quarterly delivery of the core training 2. Piloting and, subject to confirmed demand and positive evaluation feedback, ongoing quarterly delivery of two supplementary deliverables: a) A 'train the trainers' day, designed to enable others to teach their teams the Toolkit b) 3 one-hour masterclasses per quarter focused on other tools in the Toolkit that are not covered in the core training (same 3 tools each quarter, one/hr)
