Notice Title

Skills Survey and Appointment Generation v2

Notice Description

Background GWE Business West Ltd (Business West) is a key player in delivering support solutions to businesses in the South West and is seeking bids from suitable organisations to conduct a telephone survey and appointment setting campaign for the Skills West project. You are invited to submit a quote for the provision of both of the elements below: 1. A telephone research campaign to achieve the required survey outputs 2. Generation of appointments for Skills West business advisers Skills West is funded through the European Social Fund and Education & Skills Funding Agency and commissioned by the West of England Local Enterprise Partnership. Skills West helps businesses to identify and tackle skills gaps whilst connecting them with local and national training providers to ensure they get the most relevant, quality training. One of the key targets for this project is the completion of a Business Skills and Training Survey. The objective of the survey is to gather intelligence to feed into the overall West of England Skills strategy. It will gather information on skills shortages, recruitment and workforce development across West of England businesses. The results will be analysed to produce Local Sector Skills Statements which will be used to inform local businesses of skills strategies and will also help training providers to develop future training provision. The other key objective of this project is the provision of business skills advice by a Skills West adviser. Skills West offers businesses free impartial skills advice and support to understand a business' pain points and help source training relevant to their business - this can be anything from short training courses through to apprenticeship recruitment. We can also provide advice on apprenticeship funding - which can now be used for existing and new members of staff, this is something that businesses are not often aware of so is another source of support for their business growth plans. Target audience: * Businesses based in the West of England area (encompassing the areas of Bristol, Bath & North East Somerset, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire). * For the survey we will primarily target SMEs with 3-250 employees, however we may wish to approach a number of businesses below and above this band. * For the appointment setting campaign, businesses must be SME status (under 250 employees).
