New Zealand is currently undergoing an Emergency Management System Reform. This reform is delivering on the government’s recommendations in response to the Ministerial review, ‘Delivering better response to natural disasters &other emergencies (2018)’. There are several parts to the reform but this procurement concerns focus area four: Building the Capability and Capacity of the Emergency Management Workforce.
The Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet is looking for a provider to develop training packages that are aligned with the relevant unit standard along with the appropriate assessment for that package of Learning.
The packages must be learner-centric, modular and / or able to be used flexibly (for example as a basis for on-the-job learning), and engaging to a wide variety of learners whilst being reflective of New Zealand’s all hazard / all-risk approach to Incident Management.
Online elements of training are expected where appropriate and ongoing maintenance and support will be part of the overall package delivery.
This is an important project for New Zealand’s wider Emergency Management sector in that it forms part of the Emergency Management System Reform, giving effect to New Zealand’s CIMS through contributing to the government’s expectation that people performing key roles in responses will be trained and practiced in its use.
To ensure that this learning is modern and as accessible as possible, the provider must have experience in developing online learning content, and be able to evidence this to progress through to the evaluation.
It would also be beneficial for the provider to have a background in Incident or Emergency Management.
