[Dave Briggs]

Just received this:

Dear All

I am delighted to announce that with the support of those receiving
this e-mail, that the details of the Digital Mentors initiative is now
available and the formal tender exercise has begun.

This was announced on Friday by Paul Murphy, Secretary of State for
Wales and Minister for Digital Inclusion as part of the launch of the
cross-government consultation "Delivering Digital Inclusion: an Action
Plan for Consultation". See -

CLG are inviting expressions of interest by 24 November. Details and
the form can be found here
http://www.communities.gov.uk/communities/communityempowerment/whatweare/digitalmentors/

CLG will also be hosting a workshop on 19 November for those
interested in bidding. Details on the tender page

There is also a forum for those wishing to explore aspects of the
specification should you wish. See
http://haveyoursay.communities.gov.uk/forums/.  You may,as some
parties indicated, use this forum as a 'dating service' if you are
interested in forming consortia. This is probably as far as my
match-making services can extend in a professional capacity!

This pretty much completes my support for CLG on this project so
please use the contacts on the web. However, I am available to
Wednesday morning in a CLG capacity should there be anything extra.
