We are looking to partner with an experienced supplier long-term to support DCCs fraud awareness and prevention activities by delivering fraud awareness training to DCC staff, and provide support for fraud, bribery and corruption investigations. It is important that the supplier is experienced, understands the nature of fraud, bribery and corruption risks in a local government environment and can provide up to date guidance based on local, national, and global trends and learnings. The training needs to be dynamic and interactive to encourage staff to be a part of the learning process and understand how the principles may apply to them in their line of work. Training sessions should encourage staff to think of ways controls can be further improved in their line of work to mitigate any potential risks. The training and messaging should iterate and further encourage DCCs speak up culture. It is anticipated that the training programme will be delivered through a mix of e-learning, virtual and in-person training options. It is important that the supplier has the experience and capability to provide specialist skills (such as forensic accounting) and timely resourcing to either support or lead fraud, bribery and/or corruption investigations as required. We want to partner with a supplier that has a broad range of fraud awareness for both investigations and training, including but not limited to financial mechanism, time, asset, and abuse of position/ delegated financial authority.
