Description

The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) has a requirement for a company to present it's strategies and communicate more effectively across BEIS, we are looking for a supplier to produce a variety of engaging written content, guided through collaboration with staff across the directorate.
The BEIS Digital team delivers vital services to BEIS and external stakeholders, but there is a need to improve how changes driven by the Digital team are communicated across the organisation and externally. The BEIS Digital, Data & Technology Strategy for 2017-2020 contains the following two strategies:
1. People, skills and culture: a culture where DDaT is embraced, understood and valued.
2. Partner, enable, assure: where everyone enthusiastically seeks out a conversation about the value DDaT brings to the table.
To engage with these strategies and communicate more effectively across BEIS, we are looking for a supplier to produce a variety of engaging written content, guided through collaboration with staff across the directorate.

The project will take place at BEIS offices in London.
