In plain English

The Ministry of Defence wants a specialist provider to help improve the experience, representation, progression and retention of ethnic minority staff across Defence, in support of the Civil Service Race Action Plan. The work includes a review of existing evidence, a plan of priority actions, and delivering agreed interventions and workshops for senior leaders.

What the buyer wants

• Carry out an evidence-based diagnostic review and produce a prioritised intervention plan, using workforce data, lived-experience insights and leading practice. • Develop and deliver four agreed interventions per contract year. • Design and deliver six bespoke virtual workshops per year for senior Defence leaders, taking account of the mixed civilian and military workforce.

Requirements

What could rule a small business out: The notice requires a suitably experienced provider able to analyse workforce data and deliver across a large, complex organisation with mixed civilian and military staff, and no value is stated, so the expected scale and track record in this kind of work would likely rule out most small businesses.
