The Department is currently assessing the most appropriate commercial route to market and is seeking supplier insight to shape both the specification and procurement strategy. Summary of Requirement: This document summarises proposed deliverables for the UK North Sea Jobs Service (NSJS) and Oil and Gas Transition Training Fund for England, Wales and Northern Ireland (TTF). The aim of this work is to support oil and gas workers into new employment in clean energy and other Industrial Strategy Priority Sectors through a new North Sea Jobs Service. As announced in the North Sea Future Plan, the NSJS will offer end-to-end career transition support for oil and gas workers looking to move into secure jobs in growing industries. The Jobs Service will work closely with industry to identify vacancies, match eligible workers to prospective employers, and identify ways to close any qualification and training gaps through the Transition Training Fund and existing services, ensuring that workers are supported into jobs in critical sectors. The Jobs Service will work alongside the current TTF which funds careers advice and training courses for current and former oil and gas workers who live in or are employed in Aberdeen or Aberdeenshire. In the Clean Energy Jobs Plan, we announced that we would work with the Scottish Government to extend and broaden the Oil and Gas Transition Training Fund over the next 3 years. The Energy Skills Passport is an industry led initiative overseen by RenewableUK and Offshore Energies UK and supported by the UK and Scottish Governments which aims to align standards, recognise transferable skills and qualifications and map out career pathways for suitable roles. The department for Energy Security and Net Zero are engaging with potential suppliers, Trade Unions, Industry Bodies, Devolved Governments to design and develop the North Sea Jobs Service.
