Description

We are looking to procure a series of workshops focused on Human Resources honing in on three key areas of managing absence and sickness, managing performance and recruiting. Given the geography of East Riding and Hull, it is important that the sessions are responsive and are tailored across the range of business sizes from micro, small, and medium sized SMEs. We are wanting to work with a responsive, adaptable partner organisation(s) or individual(s) to deliver these workshops on our behalf. It is envisaged that the programme will consist of a range of practical, interactive workshops and events primarily ranging from 1 hour to 3 hours in duration. Where relevant and appropriate we will be looking to the selected partner to work with guest speakers and / or organisations to ensure that diverse sector specific knowledge and or industry specialists are sharing key information to support our businesses needs as they are identified.
We are looking for tender responses to include a range of topics for the workshops that cover, as a minimum, the following topics, based on what you envisage are the current needs and identified requirements of businesses (at all levels) at this time:
• Sickness and absence
• Managing performance
• recruitment
Consider and describe how you would approach developing workshops to meet the varying needs of businesses at different stages of their journey as employers, along with any potential sector-based needs.

The delivery programme will therefore need to be flexible with a clear project management plan in place to ensure effective working with the ERYC Business Support Team to enable the programme to be responsive in terms of the needs of our business community.

Workshops will be delivered across the East Riding of Yorkshire and Hull.

The number of workshops that are delivered within the potential budget should be defined by you, along with the maximum number of attendees, which will be informed by your experience and delivery model. We are open to online delivery alongside in person workshops, with the focus remaining on maximising the benefits to the businesses who attend. Explanations should be given within your response of your chosen methods of delivery and the rationale applied.
Venues, associated costs, and marketing of the courses, will be managed by our business support team's and there will be no requirement for the winning bidder to incorporate any of these additional costs.

Questions about the specification should be directed to Lucy Abbott and Josh Elliott-Shircore via email Lucy.Abbott@eastriding.gov.uk and Josh.shircore@eastriding.gov.uk by noon Monday 18th December 2023.
If you are interested in this opportunity responses should be sent to Lucy Abbott and Josh Elliott-Shircore via email Lucy.Abbott@eastriding.gov.uk and Josh.shircore@eastriding.gov.uk by 5PM Monday 8th January 2024.
