Description

WMCA and Create Central have a requirement for the delivery of bespoke events focusing on showcasing Skills Accelerator training programmes, industry networking and career opportunities for people across the West Midlands.

The events supplier must ensure that the Skills Accelerator opportunities reach the right people (not just the usual suspects) and that all Create Central Skills Accelerator opportunities have a consistent look and feel that identifies them as part of the West Midlands Skills Cluster. With this in mind, we must reach all areas of the West Midlands, so it cannot exclusively take place in Birmingham.

The appointed supplier will be required to work closely with Create Central (including the in-house social media accounts manager) and our specialist Outreach and Engagement Partner, who will provide a clear strategic approach and will open networks for all suppliers to support the delivery of the Skills Accelerator marketing and events for the programme.


If interested in this opportunity, suppliers will firstly be required to create an account on Bravo Solutions, WMCA's e-tendering Portal. The link to register on Bravo Solutions is;
