Tender: Regional Lead to Implement Clean Energy Skills Action Plan – Cheshire & Warrington (to March 31, 2027)

About

Enterprise Cheshire and Warrington is seeking an individual consultant or a small group of consultants to oversee implementation of the Clean Energy Skills Regional Action Plan (CESRAP), working alongside the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero and the North West Net Zero Hub and in partnership with relevant neighbouring regions. The CESRAP consolidates evidence from stakeholder consultation, employer engagement, provider input and regional modelling to identify where clean energy skills demand is growing and where provision is strong, sets out recommendations for local leaders and policymakers, proposes a near-term programme of skills interventions, and provides a framework for long-term collaboration to support delivery of the Government’s Clean Energy Jobs Plan. The plan is intended as a practical, living framework to guide immediate implementation, support regional collaboration and adapt as policy, investment pipelines and labour market conditions evolve. ECW is seeking consultancy support to implement the plan through to 31 March 2027; the work is funded by the North West Net Zero Hub and appointed consultant(s) must identify one to two people who will act as the Regional Lead and be available for an agreed number of days per week for the project duration.
