Who won: CR_5551 Employer Skills Investment

About this contract

This contract was awarded back in February 2026 and is being published for transparency purposes. The Industrial Strategy Advisory Council Secretariat (ISAC) needs to build a more robust understanding of the employer-skills investment landscape, specifically on the determinants of it, and how these may vary across the Industrial Strategy 8 sectors (IS-8). Understanding the current baseline/state of play is a critical step needed to provide recommendations and ideas for targeted interventions that will improve the UK’ skills system. The work is predominantly analysis and producing findings.
