The result of this process will be procurement for the Employment Academy Framework: Mark II. The Council will be holding a consultation session on Thursday 14th March 2024 at 1pm. The consultation session will be a short presentation on MS Teams, and representatives from the Councils Employability and Skills and Procurement teams will be present.
