Tender description

Continuous Improvement and Change practices across ECC are key to ensuring that the Authority is able to adapt to differing changes in how it delivers its corporate services to enable it to meet its primary functions. Essex County Council (ECC) has undergone significant changes in recent years, in line with our ambition to make significant improvements to the way that services are delivered and in response to changes to public policy. Over the next three years the nature and pace of change is likely to accelerate even further and the organisation needs to be in the best possible position to thrive, in what we know will continue to be challenging circumstances. The purpose of this procurement is to support employees in delivering continuous improvement and change across the organisation via training, mentoring and coaching. ECC staff work on a hybrid basis, based on functional and individual requirements, we will also require a hybrid approach to the provision of services. This means that the supplier(s) will be required to deliver these services online or in person. Keywords: Accreditation, Six Sigma, Training, Continuous Improvement, Change
