Indicators

Legal Justification

This training is essential to organisational service delivery and is a statutory duty. In this instance, changing to a new system would have significant practical, resource and cost of change implications. Training of approximately 500 facilitators to undertake the delivery of required learning, in a single year, brings risks to staff and client safety whilst maintaining "business as usual". For these reasons, there are no financially, administratively reasonable or viable alternatives available.

Other Information

4 year contract with the option to extend for up to another 4 years in 12 month extensions (SC Ref:819463)
