Summary of the contracting process

The University of the West of England procured leadership advisory services to improve executive effectiveness and organisational responses to current strategic challenges. The work covers targeted leadership advice, coaching and facilitation, falling within personal development training services (CPV 80570000). Delivery is in the South West of England. This is a services requirement for an organisation seeking practical support for senior leaders and strategic organisational issues, rather than general training or routine consultancy. The buyer is based at the University’s Frenchay Campus in Bristol. The selected provider’s work is therefore relevant to leadership consultants, executive coaches and facilitators with the ability to work with senior teams in the South West.

The procurement has been completed and awarded. The University of the West of England selected Watson Practice Ltd, an SME, on 9 June 2026. The awarded value is £30,000. The contract period runs from 10 June 2026 to 11 June 2026. Tender responses were due by 5pm on 9 June 2026. The procurement used a procedure recorded as “Other - Other; BVS”. It was evaluated as a services requirement, with the tender classified under personal development training services. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates demand from the University of the West of England for focused leadership support that combines executive advice, coaching and facilitated sessions. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrable expertise in leadership development, executive coaching and organisational change, with the ability to translate strategic challenges into practical support for senior decision-makers. Experience facilitating difficult or complex discussions would be relevant, alongside the capacity to tailor interventions rather than deliver generic training. The procurement was suitable for SMEs, indicating that a specialist consultancy or independent practice can be an appropriate supplier profile. Providers serving organisations in the South West may be well placed to build relevant higher-education experience.
