Beneficiaries could have an employee headcount of between 80 and up to but not a maximum of 500. Level 2, 3 & 4 need to be considered within this proposal
Normally It is expected that all training is carried out on the beneficiary premises unless in the case of unforeseen circumstances and the Authority agreeing that some off-site training may be required
Based on the potential vendors experience & knowledge we would expected to be guided on the most appropriate method of approach and duration of training.

— Planning assumptions are to be based on an average beneficiary, but there must be flexibility to be able to adapt to specific local conditions.
— Feedback to the Authority on a quarterly basis.
The guideline approach expected for each beneficiary but not inclusive of all activity is as follows:
1) A preparation phase including; a) Engagement of the senior Leadership team which is only required for the first wave of training), b) Knowledge transfer, c) Activity launch.
