Lot Information

Lot 1 - Project Management Training

Lot 1 - Project Management Project Management has always been key to delivering Historic England's work. Project Management (PM) skills can be beneficial in many roles outside of official project management roles. The Programmes Team in Historic England have developed guidance and tools for managing small and medium size projects. The guidance is influenced by Prince2 and the APM approach. We expect a supplier to take this guidance into consideration when designing the training.Most of the training is aimed at staff who run projects as part of their role but are not project managers and have no desire to become project managers. Many of our senior managers who are now SROs have no project management training. We envisage a suite of courses to support staff in different roles and with different needs. The courses can build on each other but need to give people the chance to skip a level if they already have the knowledge.Course 1: Introduction to project managementWhat is it, what is it not, when to deploy it, when not to use it, how to adapt it to projects of different size, scope and risk. Benefits of project management. Understand RAID. We are looking for this course to be a 1 day session and it needs to give people an understanding of what project management is and what it involves. Course 2: Manage a small to medium sized project using the Historic England guidance. Project Design. RACI. RAID. Planning. Monitoring project delivery. Closing a project. Responsibility of a project manager compared to other roles - SRO, project content lead (if available), delivery team, change manager. We are looking for this course to be 2 day session and it needs to give people the knowledge and skills to run small to medium sized projects effectively and confidently as part of their day to day job. Course 3: Be an effective SRO. We are looking for this course to be no longer than 3.5 hours and explore the role of the SRO, responsibilities and the relationship to project manager and project lead as well as change manager. Decision making in a project structure. Chairing project boards effectively. This course needs to give SROs a clear understanding of their responsibilities.Objectives * Enable staff to have a general understanding of the principles of project management (Course 1)* Enable staff from various functions to run small and medium sized projects successfully in line with our project guidance (Course 2)* Ensure SROs understand their role and how they interact with other roles in the project governance (Course 3)* Ensure SROs can run project boards effectively (Course 3)We expect a high demand for Course 2. The SRO training might need to be offered to smaller groups more frequently.

Lot 2 - Project Management Training

Lot 2 - Project Management Qualification trainingThere are a significant number of staff whose role focuses heavily on project management tools and techniques and some wish to have some formal qualification in project management. Others want to move into project management as a career and require a formal qualification.We are looking to provide those with the opportunity to gain a qualification to industry standard. It would be beneficial that the course is also in-line with APM and Prince 2 principles.
