Summary of the contracting process

The British Tourist Authority, trading as VisitBritain and VisitEngland, procured a Managing for Excellence development programme for line managers across its organisation. This is a management training and professional development service, intended for organisation-wide use. The delivery location is associated with the buyer’s Birmingham postcode, with the listed locations also spanning the United Kingdom and several wider destinations. The procurement is categorised as a service; its classification code describes IT software, which does not align with the programme’s stated management-development purpose.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to People Untapped Limited. The award date was 2 September 2026, and the contract runs from 2 September 2026 to 13 August 2027. The awarded value is £104,864.91. The requirement was procured through a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with bids due by 17 July 2026. The published procurement information gives no separate award-scoring criteria. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It covers one organisation-wide programme for line managers; no separate lots are identified.

For providers of management development, this award demonstrates demand from the British Tourist Authority for a programme reaching line managers across the organisation, rather than a narrowly targeted course. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show it can design and deliver structured development for managers at organisational scale, with capacity to serve a dispersed workforce. The award went to a small or medium-sized provider, and the original opportunity was considered suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller specialist firms can compete for this type of work. Experience in management training and the ability to support line managers across a public-facing organisation would be commercially relevant. The buyer used a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers would need to be positioned to participate through that route.
