Bangor University in partnership with Coleg Cambria and The Open University in Wales have a shared vision to establish a new form of technology skills academy situated in North East Wales, building on the cornerstones of industrial need, applied technology research together with agile and continuing training.

The ‘Skills Factory’ will bridge the FE/HE schism and deliver its vision outside the accepted patterns of education and training presently predicated on age and traditional educational qualifications. Driven by the need for a highly skilled, well-paid STEM based workforce and addressing the future needs of the local and regional economy post Covid-19, the Skills Factory will deliver access to employment in STEM sectors and provide new pathways into new careers.

Bangor University is seeking a supplier that can provide Business Consultancy to prepare a 5 Case Business Plan for the Skills Factory. The supplier will need to author the business case and provide advice and guidance on the information needed to support this as well as supporting the partners in gathering this.
