Summary of the contracting process

British Business Bank Plc commissioned leadership development programmes for senior leaders with different levels of experience. The requirement is a staff development service (CPV 79633000), covering leadership training and development rather than banking, investment or financial services. Delivery is in Yorkshire and the Humber, with the buyer based at Steel City House in Sheffield. The work supports the bank’s internal leadership capability and is intended for senior personnel across different experience levels. Businesses relevant to this requirement include providers of structured executive education, leadership programmes, senior-management development and related organisational learning services. The purchasing organisation is British Business Bank Plc, a development bank wholly owned by HM Government, rather than a commercial bank delivering customer banking services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to The Windsor Leadership Trust on 30 June 2026. The awarded contract value is £28,500. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2029, and the tender submission deadline was 29 June 2026. British Business Bank Plc is the buyer and The Windsor Leadership Trust is the selected supplier. The procurement covered one leadership-programme requirement and the award is active. The published information identifies the service category as staff development services and records the award at the same value as the tender estimate. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, which is relevant when comparing the route with future opportunities from this buyer.

Although this contract has been awarded, it provides a clear example of British Business Bank Plc’s demand for senior-leadership development delivered over a multi-year period. A credible future competitor would need experience designing and delivering programmes for senior leaders at different career stages, with content suitable for a financial or public-sector development-bank environment. Relevant capability is likely to include executive education, leadership assessment, facilitated learning, confidential work with senior cohorts and the ability to provide a consistent service across Yorkshire and the Humber. Providers should be able to demonstrate dependable programme management, strong facilitator quality and outcomes that support organisational leadership capability. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that specialist leadership-development firms can deliver this type of requirement at the stated scale.
