Summary of the contracting process

The National Infrastructure and Service Transformation Authority (NISTA), represented by the Crown Commercial Service, is planning to set up a new contract for the delivery of the Project Leadership Programme. This procurement falls under the education and training services industry and targets project delivery capability enhancement for leaders involved in significant government projects. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with a supplier day scheduled virtually for 29 April 2025, marking a prelude to the formal tendering process anticipated to commence at the end of May 2025. Interested suppliers will participate through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) facilitated by the Crown Commercial Service, with the estimated contract value set at £24,270,000, and the current contract anticipated to expire in December 2025. All activities will be within the UK.

This procurement presents a significant opportunity for organisations within the Learning and Training Services industry, particularly those specialising in project leadership development, to engage with a substantial government initiative. Suppliers who are adept at providing innovative training solutions that enhance leadership competencies such as self-management, commercial acumen, and technical expertise are well-suited to compete. Additionally, businesses that are Cyber Essentials Plus certified and meet the Government Security Classifications Scheme's requirements will likely find themselves competitive candidates for this tender. By participating, suppliers can expand their portfolio in government contracts, enhance their reputation in the public sector, and potentially foster long-term partnerships with the Crown Commercial Service.
