The Authority's intention is to procure all packages throughout the 2024/25 financial year. Within the current offer, there are six proposed activities, which we intend to group into four procurement packages.

To review our current offer, the department completed a sector engagement exercise, supplemented by responses to a workforce survey with over 2300 responses, to establish current workforce support activity available, exploring awareness, access and use, and assessing the potential impact and possible gaps and opportunities.

The aim of the RFI is to explore your views on a proposed future workforce support and improvement offer. Responses will help to shape the specification for potential competitive tender and build a tailored support and improvement offer that maximises impact.

This PIN/RFI is not a call for competition. This RFI is issued solely for information and planning purposes – it does not constitute an Invitation to Tender (ITT) or a promise to issue an ITT in the future. This RFI does not commit the Authority to contract for any supply or service whatsoever.

Further, the Authority is not at this time seeking proposals and will not accept unsolicited proposals. The Authority will not pay for any information or administrative costs incurred in response to this RFI. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future ITT, if any is issued.

The information provided in this RFI is subject to change and is not binding on the Authority.
