Description
This contract will provide a hybrid of training that targets both project management and leadership development simultaneously, whilst being within a 1 mile radius of the ABW site that enables seamless face to face delivery with our local educational institution. This procurement is a pilot programme only, and following LFE from this, the authority will look to compete the requirement on a wider radius should any other educational institutes consider delivering a similar course with the same benefits.
