Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) focuses on a Leadership Development Programme under the title "CS22415- Leadership Development Programme." This process falls under the training services industry category, indicated by the CPV code 80500000. The involved procurement stages include planning, tender, and award. UK Shared Business Services Limited, based in Swindon, England, served as the buying organisation for this procurement. This selective procurement method was conducted as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) under the CCS RM6219 - Learning and Training Services DPS. The contract period began on 16th January 2023 and will extend until 30th September 2026, as per the contract variation. The project was budgeted at £100,148.43, with ASK Europe PLC being the awarded supplier.

This Leadership Development Programme tender represents significant opportunities for businesses involved in training services, particularly those specialising in leadership, coaching, and mentoring. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) are especially well-suited to compete, given the procurement process's emphasis on suitability for these types of businesses. Engagement in such a programme can enhance a company's portfolio by aligning with the prestigious UKRI, and businesses that are already part of the Learning and Training Services DPS have an advantageous position to secure such contracts. The programme’s focus provides businesses a platform to expand service offerings and develop strong credentials in the field of leadership development.
