NCS currently has the following opportunity for the provision of Consultancy Services for Innovation and Design Support.
National Citizen Service (NCS) Trust would like to procure a consultant who can work with NCS to provide support for Innovation and Service design as we prepare to launch a refreshed curriculum and pilot possible new approaches to our services.
In support of the ongoing review of NCS's long-term strategy and services, NCS requires consultancy support to deliver the following outputs:
1. Provide a comparative analysis between services delivered by other organisations which align with NCS's outcomes, and NCS's existing programme and extension services;
2. Provide an analysis of emerging trends and ideas from the world of character education and skills development that can inform future NCS curriculum and service design;
3. Provide recommendations on ways to optimise NCS Extension services for greater reach and impact, including links to non-NCS services;
4. Provide options for how to build digital innovations into NCS programme services;
5. Support the ongoing development of a lean service design process to build and test minimum viable products for service design innovations that can then be brought to scale in the future if successful.
