Notice Title

Development of a Race Equality Workplace Training Framework

Notice Description

Scottish Government is retendering this commission to develop a framework for race equality/anti-racist training for workplaces. This framework will help inform employers of the kind of training that can be undertaken and identify training that is specific to their needs.

Lot Information

Lot 1

This commission is to develop a framework for race equality/anti-racist training for workplaces. This is a retender of this ITT. The race equality workplace training framework will help inform employers of the kind of training that can be undertaken and identify training that is specific to their needs. The framework should enable employers to embed it within their existing learning and development practices. It should offer a clear progression pathway to support and build competence of staff to understand racism and how it can manifest, or be embedded, in workplace cultures and systems. Employers should then be able to effectively address issues impacting staff. The framework will also provide a clear approach to measuring the efficacy of any training undertaken.. Collaborative bids are welcomed but should be submitted by a single, nominated Lead Partner with whom the Contract would be entered into.

Renewal: If required, 2 x 1 month extensions may be made available, although all work would be expected to be completed within the originally agreed budget.
