UK Public Sector Contracts & Tenders

HES is seeking a contractor to develop, programme and deliver a fully inclusive offer to local learning and community audiences, both onsite at Trinity House and as outreach in other venues. The successful supplier must be able to demonstrate significant experience of delivering high-quality, creative and engaging community learning programmes both on and inspired by heritage sites and collections, ideally with a maritime connection, which clearly evidences working with a diversity of learning audiences including schools, families, youth work, community programmes, adult learners and learners with additional support needs.

As part of our Making Sense of Scotland offer the Learning and Inclusion team and HES Collections Unit provide a range of fully facilitated programmes for schools, informal learners and community groups, both at our sites and as outreach. These incorporate a variety of existing activities on a range of cross-curricular topics offered to learning groups and to enhance public engagement with HES sites and collections through tours and events. Some are offered as bookable sessions and others in a drop-in format. To ensure continuity of programming the HES Learning and Inclusion Team is seeking to commission a pool of up to 12 freelance facilitators who can deliver a range of these learning activities both at HES sites and in an outreach capacity in schools and community venues. These will primarily be delivered across Scotland’s Central Belt but there may occasionally be opportunities to support with delivery of activities in other regions (it should be noted that HES delivers a national learning and engagement programme with specific programmes and projects, outside of this commission, covering other areas of the country).
