What happened

Department for Business & Trade awarded this contract to Aston University worth £29,775 on 20 Feb 2026. The contract runs until 31 Mar 2026.

Description

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.
