Request for proposal: Skills for Safety webinar series provider

We are looking for a supplier to help us re-launch our Engineering X Skills for Safety webinar series. We want to create engaging and purposeful content that aligns with our programme portfolio and helps us reach a broader global audience, particularly in Lower- and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs).

The series will serve as a platform for raising awareness on specific safety issues, an advocacy tool for the importance of embedding safety and skills in engineering education and practice, and foster dialogue, knowledge exchange, and connection.

We are seeking a provider who can support the preparation, delivery, promotion, and pre and post-communication of the webinar, including through creating additional content, such as co-authoring thought leadership pieces for the Engineering X microsite and sharing impactful short video soundbites, and providing engagement metrics.

Engineering X is a collaboration founded by the Academy and the Lloyd's Register Foundation.

Request for proposal: 2027 Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation Entrepreneurship Training programme

The Royal Academy of Engineering is seeking to procure an entrepreneurship training provider to consult, design, and deliver a commercialisation training programme for the 2027 cohort of the Africa Prize for Engineering Innovation (Africa Prize) programme.

Participants will comprise up to 16 founders from sub-Saharan Africa-based SMEs that are at a pre-scale-up stage, working across a variety of sectors. The training provider will need to consider participant and business needs both in the delivery of the programme and in the tailored offering made available for each participant and business. Training provider collaborations are welcome, particularly where this brings in more experience that reflects the diversity within the sub-Saharan African ecosystem.
