Lot Information

Lot 1

The ArWAP sets out a number of actions relating to the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller community to help ensure meaningful change is delivered. The 'Homes and places' chapter outlines a goal "to recognise that safe, culturally appropriate accommodation is necessary in order for individuals to flourish in other parts of their lives and to address the lack of site provision and poor quality of Gypsy and Traveller accommodation in Wales." Part of this goal is the action to: "Procure a framework for an external training company to develop and deliver a training course to upskill all 22 local authorities in Wales on Gypsy, Roma and Travellers nomadic ways of living". To fulfil this action, the Client is looking to procure an external organisation over a 4-year contract to: 1) Design and develop a national training package on Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities in Wales. 2) Deliver and evaluate a bespoke national training schedule to all 22 local authorities across Wales on a rolling basis.
