Details

Ofcom has a statutory duty to promote media literacy. Through engagement undertaken as part of the Media Literacy Strategy and the Making Media Literacy Everybody's Business programme, Ofcom has identified employers as an important route for reaching working-age adults. Employer investment in digital capability, AI skills and workforce development creates an opportunity to embed media literacy alongside existing skills activity and employer development programmes. This procurement aims to develop an evidence-based model for integrating media literacy within employer-facing digital capability activity and workforce development programmes, while testing employer appetite, implementation approaches and opportunities for wider adoption. The successful organisation will be expected to produce a final report, implementation framework, practical employer guidance and recommendations for future activity.

The work will bring together:

  • Ofcom's Media Literacy Outcomes Framework
  • Essential Digital Skills Framework
  • Relevant AI capability frameworks
  • Employer workforce development activity
  • Employer engagement and workforce research
  • Practical implementation approaches for employers

Documents

Before you bid on this tender

A quick checklist to help you decide whether to bid and prepare a compliant submission. Always verify the details on the official source.

  • Confirm the exact closing date and time (and time zone) on the official portal — deadlines are strict and can be revised by a corrigendum.
  • Read the full notice and every attached document, including the scope, specifications and any bill of quantities or terms of reference.
  • Check the eligibility criteria — prior similar experience, annual turnover, certifications and registrations — and make sure you qualify before investing effort.
  • Prepare any earnest-money deposit (EMD) or bid security and the required formats early; missing or wrongly-formatted documents are a common cause of rejection.
  • Note how bids must be submitted (online or physical), in what format, and whether a digital signature or portal registration is required.
  • Watch for corrigenda and clarifications right up to the deadline — requirements and dates can change.
