It is anticipated that each beneficiary may have up to 4 waves of Level 2 with up to 12 delegates on each wave with each wave lasting between 9 and no more than 12 months, to be run in series. Beneficiary waves could run concurrently if there is sufficient delegates, improvement focus areas and the beneficiary has the capacity to fully participate.

Beneficiaries could have an employee headcount of between 80 and up to but not a maximum of 500. Level 2, 3 & 4 need to be considered within this proposal

Normally It is expected that all training is carried out on the beneficiary premises unless in the case of unforeseen circumstances and the Authority agreeing that some off-site training may be required

Based on the potential vendors experience & knowledge we would expected to be guided on the most appropriate method of approach and duration of training.

This current delivery plan is subject to change dependent on the on-boarding of beneficiaries to the programme.

— Planning assumptions are to be based on an average beneficiary, but there must be flexibility to be able to adapt to specific local conditions.

— Feedback to the Authority on a quarterly basis.

The guideline approach expected for each beneficiary but not inclusive of all activity is as follows:

1) A preparation phase including; a) Engagement of the senior Leadership team which is only required for the first wave of training), b) Knowledge transfer, c) Activity launch.

2) A Projects and Assessment phase including; a) Project Review b) Internal Verification.

The services to which the procurement relates fall within the category of Services covered by the Light Tough regime (LTR — Regulations 74 — 77) of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015 ( the Regulations). As such, the stages of the tender process are subject to a ‘light touch regime.’ Although the Authority intends that the tender process will follow a procedure similar to the open procedure in certain respects, for the avoidance of doubt the Authority is not running the process as though the open procedure applies, and so reserves the right to depart from that procedure at any point.
