Notice Title
CA289 (2022) Safety Culture Transformation
Notice Description
NIE Networks has recognised the need to, and has made a commitment to positively transform its safety culture. Some of the key points of these interventions are as follows: * The Safety Culture Assessment, associated feedback and communication to the wider organisation were all carried out using methodologies derived from the Integral Model as proposed originally by American philosopher Ken Wilber. As an organisation we have become familiar with the language around this, hence the strong requirement that potential suppliers would also have experience in safety culture transformation using this approach. * The hiring and training of NIE Networks coaches should enable NIE Networks to become self sufficient, to a degree, in this space over the longer term. It is envisaged that these coaches will help to deliver significant elements of the plan in due course. * It is recognised by the business that a transformation in safety culture is required, however it has also been recognised that significant other delivery pressures already exist. Therefore any proposed delivery plan should be both transformational and sustainable. * The tender opportunity has been divided into two lots; Lot 1 will be the larger lot which will primarily focus on the the setup of the teams required to make a transformation, while Lot 2 will be focused on the creation and delivery of the two elements of leadership training identified. Potential suppliers had the opportunity to submit bids for one or both lots.
