We are looking for knowledge and understanding of best practice programme management ; an understanding of what works best in international development and the latest, best, most innovative, cutting edge ideas in learning for organisations such as DFID.
To support the development of the requirement, Knowledgepool invites Providers with experience in developing or delivering related learning programmes to attend an Early Market Engagement event (EME). The event will take place in Central London on Thursday 8 March 2018. In attendance from DFID will be key stakeholders with responsibility for commissioning and developing programme delivery learning modules. This event is designed to test ideas for, and feasibility of developing a new integrated learning package. This EME will not only support in the development off the requirement but also serve as an opportunity for DFID to learn about new and emerging industry trends, and better understand the range of learning options available.
The outputs from the event will help to clearly define and specify DFID’s requirements for phase two, Knowledgepool’s procurement of a learning solution for DFID, starting from March 2018 for a contract lasting for between 3-4 years.
