This project falls under the services category, specifically focusing on business and management consultancy and related services. The main goal is to develop a bespoke Race Equality and Anti-Racism training product for approximately 22,000 Local Authority staff across the Liverpool City Region. The upcoming tender opportunity will be released in the coming weeks, following two market engagement events scheduled for 26th January and 1st February 2022. Interested parties should engage actively, as there's a questionnaire associated with these events to gather feedback, which will help refine the ITT document before the formal tender release. The allocated budget for this project is £230,000, with additional communications anticipated by 14th February 2022. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training, consultancy, and education services, particularly those with experience in race equality and anti-racism initiatives. Organisations that can deliver innovative training solutions that resonate with diverse communities will likely excel in this bidding process. The Liverpool City Region Combined Authority encourages interested businesses, including those wishing to collaborate as a consortium, to attend the engagement events and partake in shaping this impactful project aimed at achieving racial equality in local governance and service delivery. ## Notice The Liverpool City Region (LCR) Local Authorities and LCRCA are embarking on an exciting and crucial project to develop a high-quality bespoke Race Equality and Anti-Racism training product, with the aim of training all 22,000 Local Authority staff and building our collective level of racial literacy and inclusivity. It is hoped this training investment will create a ripple effect across our entire operations in the Liverpool City Region, contributing to a more inclusive working environment and to drive equality of outcomes for residents through the services we offer. The project is ambitious, we would like to train everybody across a two-year delivery period face to face (or via a COVID-19 safe medium) and want to ensure the materials created are retained exclusively by our Local Authorities to ensure we can continue to amplify the voices of our Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities and evolve the course over time in line with our long-term commitment to strive for racial equality. Local Authority officers and focus groups with staff from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds has confirmed there is an appetite for the learning experience to cover concepts such as structural racism, positive action, privilege and micro-aggression, which are not addressed under our current Equality Act 2010 focused e-learning. The overarching objective is for this learning experience to be both innovative and impactful. LCRCA is looking to commission suitable consultants or organisation(s) from across the Liverpool City Region (LCR) and beyond to be considered for the development of the Race Equality and Anti-Racism training course and materials as well as delivery of the first phase of training rollout as part of the Race Equality Learning & Development Collaboration project. We are seeking to engage with potential interested parties to discuss the project and provide additional information about the upcoming tender opportunity, which we intend to release in the coming weeks.
