Description

Having conducted a survey across the Air Domain, 25 people have been identified as requiring training in Simplified Technical English (STE). Course attendees will need to learn the theory and reasons as to why STE is important, with examples providing insights into best and worse practices. They are also required to have hands-on practice, applying STE writing rules and making use of the dictionary that follows the ASD-STE100 Specification.
The successful supplier is asked to deliver training only for DE&S staff, rather than offer places on a public course.
The trainer or the training organisation must be a member of the Simplified Technical English Maintenance Group (STEMG) and must be experienced in the use of STE either in the Aviation or Defence Industry.
Further information can be found within the ITT. A Supplier Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ) is also being issued alongside this Contract Notice. These documents can be accessed via the direct Opportunity Listing link attached:

If you are interested in participating in this competition, expressions of interest must be made through the Defence Sourcing Portal (DSP).
