Skills Bootcamps - Retrofit Skills Mini-Competition under the GMCA Education Work and Skills FPS

Tender description

GMCA looked to procure a lead organisation to deliver the reskilling/upskilling element of a Retrofit Skills Hub which forms part of the wider Skills for Growth programme. A key aspect of reaching Greater Manchester (GM)’s carbon neutral targets is the retrofitting of buildings. It has been estimated that for GM to reach targets, 60,000 homes need to be retrofitted annually. The market for retrofit homes is growing from both private and public funding and this brings with it a need for new skills within our construction industry. This specification is part of a longer-term plan to develop skills to deliver retrofit as the market increases. This opportunity was procured as a further competition through GMCA's Education, Work and Skills Flexible Procurement System.
