In plain English
Energy and Utility Skills Group is looking for a digital technology partner to design and build a new online platform that helps people, employers, and training providers connect with the energy, water, and waste industries. The platform will be a modern, user-friendly website that also gives government and industry leaders data to plan workforce needs.
What the buyer wants
• Design and deliver a sector-level digital platform accessible to citizens, employers, training providers, and government partners • Create a unified, intuitive user interface that lets different user groups interact with energy, water, and waste sector information • Build a data-rich backend system that provides workforce planning insights to EUSG, sector partners, and government
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: This is a £1–5 million contract requiring enterprise-scale digital platform design and delivery; it will almost certainly require a large, established technology firm with proven delivery of major digital infrastructure projects, making it extremely difficult for a sole trader or micro-business to win.
