We don't have a particular approach in mind and are open to the above services either being procured from separate suppliers, a consortium, or a single multi-disciplined supplier.

We envisage the support and training offer will be delivered online and in-person, as appropriate, and we would like to discuss the possible use of a virtual learning environment (VLE).
We would like to engage in some Pre-market engagement in July/August 2023.
