    Brief

    Wirral Council is conducting a soft market testing exercise to identify Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) capable of delivering a Postgraduate Diploma in Social Work as part of the national Step Up to Social Work programme. The Council is seeking partners with demonstrated capability and capacity to provide this postgraduate qualification, which aims to train and develop social workers. Interested HEIs should have experience in delivering social work education, appropriate accreditation, qualified teaching staff, and suitable facilities. This is a soft market testing phase designed to gauge interest and capability before formal procurement processes commence.
