How to win: UK_1508- Global colleague experience platform

About this contract

The British Council is seeking a single strategic partner to provide a colleague experience platform and associated services for approximately 8,500 colleagues in more than 100 countries. The British Council is looking for more than survey technology. It requires a mature, scalable platform that brings together listening, insight and action. The platform should help leaders, managers and teams understand what shapes colleague experience, act on it as part of day-to-day work, and see whether their actions are making a difference. Insight and action will take place at every level, from the whole organisation to individual teams. The organisation's operating model will develop over time. The solution should support different approaches to access, governance and action, involving leaders, managers, local teams and People Function colleagues. Suppliers should explain the approaches they support and any pricing implications.
