Summary

The requirement is for the training, coaching and certification of Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) staff to develop skills and aptitudes to:

• Deliver a suite of improvement projects, further embed a culture of Continuous Improvement (CI) and a mindset shift to improvement proactivity and facilitate the removal of waste in processes. Training provision will focus on key activities that enable the approx. 3,000 workforce to add value to both internal and external customers.

• Pilot new ways of working. Redesigning future operating models, project delivery methods and culture to improve the effectiveness of the delivery of products, processes and services, and value to both internal and external customers. Where appropriate, STFC would like to evolve a culture which encourages experimentation, innovation, developing deep trust with their people, generating radical transparency and enabling distributed authority. In these areas, STFC want to train and deploy methods such as business agility and agile methodologies, where appropriate.

Procurement will cover all STFC training, coaching and learning in these CI and business agility areas, ensuring consistency of approach between staff in our many departments and directorates.
