Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) 2024 Commission

Tender description

To ensure that industry has enough people to deliver the pipeline of work, we need to recruit more people, from more diverse backgrounds and improve retention across construction. There is an opportunity to increase numbers entering the industry by bringing in people from different demographics. However, evidence tells us that progress on this is slow. There is also evidence that retention is negatively impacted by the fact that industry is not reflective of society in its diversity which is a wider challenge as being inclusive helps to retain the existing talent within the industry. This commission is seeking a provider to make EDI training available through an online portal to tackle these issues by: Driving increased uptake across all areas of industry of available EDI training (including different subsectors and sizes of business) Review and improve existing EDI training resources to ensure they are suitable for SMEs and meet all the current legislation.
