As part of the Inner Forth Futures' Climate FORTH (Furthering Our Resilience Through Heritage) project, RSPB Scotland, on behalf of Inner Forth Futures, wishes to commission a consultant or agency to develop a Youth ‘mix and match’ Training Programme with accreditation.

This piece of work will review existing youth training programmes, engage with the Climate FORTH Youth Panel and other stakeholders to identify ‘green skills’ required for the future workforce, identify suitable heritage assets to host training, explore accreditation and propose a model for Climate FORTH to pilot. It will also develop a costed project plan for the Climate FORTH delivery phase. 

The successful contractor will undertake the works between May/June and August 2022. Interested parties can download the TENDER FOR THE SUPPLY OF CLIMATE FORTH DEVELOPMENT PHASE WORKS: SCOPING & DESIGN STUDY FOR A BESPOKE YOUTH ‘MIX AND MATCH’ TRAINING PROGRAMME WITH ACCREDITATION.
