York & North Yorkshire LEP look to commission research agency for important skills programme evaluation
York & North Yorkshire LEP is about to launch a ground breaking programme of Skills Bootcamps across the area. Working with a range of specialist providers and leading employers, they will be delivering over the next 10 months up to 25 Bootcamps to support over 1000 local residents aged 19 + develop higher level skills across a range of specialisms including in advanced manufacturing, electronics, digital, green construction and natural protection, logistics and business analysis.
The programme will be a unique opportunity to trigger a step change in delivering the higher-level skills needed to transition to a dynamic low carbon economy and to improve the region’s productivity and growth.
The LEP is now inviting organisations with an in-depth understanding of the Y&NY business and skills landscape and a track record of research in these areas to express their interest in undertaking a local evaluation of our Bootcamp programme for 22-23.
The evaluation will be critical in helping shape the LEP’s plans for future Bootcamp or similar successor higher level skills provision in York and North Yorkshire.
Interested organisations should e-mail shaun.withers@ynlep.com for a copy of the full Specification and application, stating in the e-mail in no more than 150 words why this opportunity may be of interest.
The closing date for submitting an expression of interest is midnight on Wednesday 15 June 22 and for returning applications midnight on Sunday 19 June 22.
The LEP intends awarding a contract up to a maximum value of £25,000 net of VAT for the evaluation activity to start no later than 1 August 2022.
