Request for Proposals: Facilitation of two-day in-person scoping workshop
The purpose of this commission is to secure a supplier to provide preparation support, lead facilitation, and informed outputs from the delivery of an in-person workshop, convened by the Royal Academy of Engineering (RAEng) and the National Academy of Technologies France (NATF). The overarching objective of this workshop is to pinpoint opportunities for a RAEng- NATF bilateral activity in 2024/5. The primary focus will be to explore opportunities in the context of two pre-selected themes: engineering systems approaches to net zero, and engineering education and skills. The workshop will convene approximately twelve participants drawn from the fellowships and networks of RAEng and NATF who have relevant expertise in the fields of interest. The workshop will take place in Prince Philip House, Carlton House Terrace, London,
with full logistical support provided by RAEng staff.
We are looking for a supplier who can bring a creative approach to workshop facilitation and content capture to generate novel insight on opportunities for further partnership, including a plan or vision of what the academies should focus on in the next 3-5 years.
The full scope of the workshop, project deliverables and the facilitation required during the two days is outlined in the following section.
Shott Scale UP Accelerator, Invitation to Tender: Training and coaching services
The Royal Academy of Engineering is seeking a provider (or a consortium of providers) to design and deliver training modules and 1-2-1 leadership coaching for entrepreneurs leading technology SMEs that are growing rapidly.
Participants on the Shott Scale Up Accelerator, referred to as Awardees, will be decision-makers (founders, CEOs, CTOs, or other C-suite and equivalent job level roles) of UK-based technology and engineering SMEs. Each cohort of Awardees will typically comprise 15 entrepreneurs, all from different companies, with a
broad range of backgrounds, sectors and experience.
Training modules should be practical, include peer-to-peer learning and bespoke elements, and should focus on equipping participants with the appropriate skills, tools and techniques to:
- Improve their leadership capabilities to enable them to reach their full
potential - Grow their company into a global technology and engineering business
- Become a role model to others who are embarking on an entrepreneurial
journey
Coaching sessions should focus on helping participants understand their own strengths and weaknesses as leaders, improve their leadership skills, and build their confidence to enable them to reach their full potential while scaling their businesses.
