Description

West Midlands Fire Service are undertaking a full review of our approach to how we manage our vacancies. There are key areas of focus for the review to ensure that our selection process and procedures continue to improve in the aspects of openness, transparency, consistency, and inclusivity.

The tools that we utilise for selection is a key element of this review and we are keen to explore behavioural assessment tools that are available at different management levels including Supervisory, Middle and Strategic Manager. Any tools utilised will make full use of digital technology.

Additional detail is available in appendix 2 the specification.

A notice has previously been published on Contracts Finder, this was an early engagement exercise for us to gain an understanding of what is available currently on the market and indicative costs. All suppliers who expressed an interest were invited to demonstrate their solution at the beginning of July. This will have no impact on the evaluation of this tender opportunity.
