AONTAS Invitation to Tender - Strategic Plan 2023-2026

AONTAS is coming to the end of our current Strategic Plan (2019-2022), A Vision for Educational Equality. Since 2016, AONTAS has grown in size (resources and staff team) and scope of influence in adult learning advocacy  working on an all-island basis nationally and at EU level.  

We are now seeking a Consultant(s) to support the development of a new Strategic Plan for the next four years from 2023 to 2026.

Given the progress of AONTAS over the course of the current plan, consideration needs to be made on:

1. The strategic position of AONTAS post-2022
2. How we demonstrate the impact of our work to the Board, our members, our funders and the general public
3. Consideration of the organisational structure to deliver future work (taking into account the increase in staff numbers, scope of work, and funding)

Requirements

Taking a holistic approach to the Strategic Planning Process we require work on three packages:

Work Package 1: Development of the AONTAS Strategic Plan 2023-2026

• Take stock of achievements of the AONTAS Strategic Plan 2018-2022
• Scope out the current adult education policy and practice landscape
• Frame the Strategic Plan in terms of vision, mission, goals, objectives, target groups, target areas, strategic actions and activities/projects

Work Package 2: Development of appropriate methods to measure and communicate impact

• Define appropriate methods for measuring the goals, objectives and actions of the Strategic Plan 2023-2026
• Align methods to measure the impact of the Strategic Plan to reporting requirements of funders
• Propose best in class methods to communicate the impact of the Strategic Plan 2023-2026

Work Package 3: Proposals for an organisational structure to meet effective delivery of the Strategic Plan

• Develop an outline of the organisational structure needed to deliver the Strategic Plan 2023-2026

Working with the Consultant(s), the development of the Strategic Plan will be primarily supported by the AONTAS Board - Governance Subcommittee, the CEO and with a Project Manager from the staff team. Progress will be reported to the AONTAS Board.
