This contract will be to provide a tool that enables Welsh Government and its partners to make more informed decisions,
particularly in relation to skills required now and in future in the labour market.
Specifically, the tools should:
- Provide a breakdown of regional / local Labour Market Intelligence (LMI) in a way that is accessible and can be manipulated
by users to meet their specific needs allowing them to produce tailored outputs, including future projections. This should add
value to the existing regional / local LMI that Welsh Government and other public bodies already publish.
- Make use of data scraping techniques to provide timely information on the skills that employers are demanding (i.e. in job
advertisements) and, potentially, individuals are supplying.

- Make use of data scraping techniques to provide timely information on the skills that employers are demanding (i.e. in job advertisements) and, potentially, individuals are supplying.
Welsh Government wish to introduce this enhanced LMI into the system as soon as possible and therefore are not looking for
tools to be developed but instead for existing tools that can be purchased / licensed to Welsh Government and partners in a
very short time frame, and integrated into current systems.
