In plain English

UKRI wants to hire one organisation or team to run the UK Electrification Skills Framework, a national body that will gather evidence about skills gaps in the electrification sector, bring together industry and training providers, and produce reports and guidance to help the UK plan its workforce for electric vehicles and battery technology.

What the buyer wants

• Establish and manage a national framework that identifies current and future skills needs in electrification sectors (electric vehicles, batteries, related industries) • Convene and engage with stakeholders including industry, universities, training providers, professional bodies and government departments • Gather data, analyse evidence and produce reports on workforce planning and skills provision • Manage governance arrangements and coordinate the framework's operations and reporting

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

This is a strategic, evidence-based skills coordination role requiring significant research, convening and analytical capability: most traditional tradespeople and small builders will be disqualified unless they have led large sector-wide training or skills programmes previously.

How to bid

This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
