Summary of the contracting process

The Leadership Development Programme contract, procured by Essex Cares Limited, has reached the award stage, with the contract now active as of 1st May 2025. Essex Cares Limited, a public authority in the sub-central government sector, sought a provider to deliver a leadership development programme for its leadership teams. The procurement process was limited and conducted below the competitive threshold. Expert Training Systems PLC, based in Camberley, Surrey, has been awarded the contract. Delivery spans multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including UKC to UKK, with the service category focused on training services. The contract, valued at £53,760 net, with a gross amount of £64,512, is scheduled for completion by 1st May 2026. The contract was signed on 17th April 2025.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in leadership training and development services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the training industry are well-suited to compete in this procurement space due to the focus on delivering a specialised programme for leadership teams. In addition, providers capable of servicing multiple regions in the UK stand to benefit from the widespread delivery locations specified in the contract. Businesses with a proven track record in delivering bespoke training solutions for public authorities may find similar opportunities in future tenders from Essex Cares Limited.
