Description

As a learning organisation ECC is transitioning from delivering formal programs to enabling informal learning, fostering collaboration, developing communities, leveraging subject-matter experts, capturing and re-using knowledge that exists in the organisation, and making learning a part of every person's daily life. We are creating a learning environment where learning is linked to collaboration and knowledge sharing much more tightly.
Organisational change has led to changes in the way ECC employees develop their skills and training, these are linked to individual development plans along with more structured training focused on five pillars of knowledge and behaviours;
Managing Myself,
Being the best I can be,
Working at ECC,
Working within the system, and
Driving a culture of improvement.

This structure will be maintained but the content will change over time.

How ECC delivers this training is changing and therefore how ECC procures these services is also changing. ECC's Learning & Development and Procurement teams are currently working on possible options to deliver a service which is flexible, embraces emerging delivery techniques, collaboration across service providers and in general provide a blended approach.
In order to develop and inform those options ECC is taking the opportunity to engage with the Training market prior to formalising any tender process.

This engagement is looking at two particular areas where we would welcome service provider feedback/opinion. These are
• Form of agreement, framework or dynamic purchasing system (DPS)
• Delivery

There are a number of questions we would like service providers to provide feedback on, the information received will inform as to how we will approach the market to meet our needs.

A spreadsheet is available for you to complete and return to Andrew.beaver@essex.gov.uk by 12 noon Friday 22nd May 2020.
