Lot 1

CalMac is seeking a partner to facilitate the development of a Just Safety Culture within the organisation. Just Culture can be defined as "a workplace culture in which front-line operators and others are not punished for actions, omissions, or decisions taken by them which are commensurate with their experience and training, but where gross negligence, wilful violations, and destructive acts are not tolerated." By introducing a Just Culture framework that is consistent, credible, and fair, CalMac will become more transparent in its decision making, and in the way in which it deals with behaviour. This builds trust and provides an opportunity to further improve safety culture. A Just Culture framework implemented effectively will facilitate this behavioural change, giving CalMac the opportunity to develop a mature safety culture. This project seeks to put in place the building blocks to allow CalMac to develop a Just Culture. In order to do this, CalMac is seeking an external supplier to facilitate the behavioural change.

Renewal: Contract length will be driven by responses to Stage 2 of the Procurement and focus on the delivery of a set of outcomes. The exact length of the contract is not yet known. While it is envisaged that the initial contract term may be approximately 12-24 months. This initial contract term may differ further to structured negotiation with Tenderers during Stage 2 of the Procurement.
