This contract will be to provide a tool that enables Welsh Government and its partners to make more informed decisions,
particularly in relation to skills required now and in future in the labour market.

Welsh Government wish to introduce this enhanced LMI into the system as soon as possible and therefore are not looking for
tools to be developed but instead for existing tools that can be purchased / licensed to Welsh Government and partners in a
very short time frame, and integrated into current systems.
