Digital Mentor tender: first round

If you’ve been following this blog you may be somewhat surprised by my apparent sudden conversion to the idea of digital mentors. In fact, although I haven’t posted here recently I have contributed a little to digitalmentor.org.

In quick summary, the UK government’s Department for Communities & Local Government (CLG) is looking for an organisation to lead on its digital mentor tender. There has been a lot of activity to develop Expressions of Interest, with UK Online Centres being notable for their incredibly open and collaborative approach.

I heard today that out of 41 Expressions of Interest five were chosen: of those five, UK Online Centres (through their Voice Box consortium), Media Trust and National Association for Voluntary and Community Action (NAVCA) have gone public about being shortlisted.

Anne Faulkner of UK Online Centres has posted a good summary of the discussions so far.
