Notice Title

IA3060 Ladder for Staffordshire Grant Agreement

Notice Description

This is niche provision only deliverable via the Ladder brand and it provides synergy with other business support initiatives including the recently launched Staffordshire Jobs & Careers Brokerage Service. The Ladder brand is a unique quality based national initiative which has no competition and has been successfully operating for the last 6 years. The County Council is only making a grant contribution to the initiative hence why a contract for services would not be applicable.
