Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "CSP25072 - GBE Leadership and Culture Development" was managed by the Department for Energy Security & Net Zero, based in London. This tender was targeting the services industry with a focus on leadership and organisational culture development. The procurement process went through several stages from planning initiated in August 2025, with tender updates and open competition for a total contract value of GBP 60,000. The competitive procurement method chosen was below threshold open competition. However, the process was ultimately cancelled in January 2026 due to financial constraints and strict timescales, with the cancellation decision made and announced in an official termination notice dated 9 January 2026.

This tender presented opportunities for businesses proficient in leadership training and organisational culture development, specifically within the public sector or complex environments like the energy sector. The tender aimed at engaging small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs), encouraging flexibility and collaboration with the Great British Energy's executive leadership team. Businesses with a proven track record in implementing strategic leadership and culture enhancements would have been well-suited for this tender. Though cancelled, similar upcoming opportunities may offer substantial growth avenues for firms capable of delivering bespoke programs and leadership coaching services.

Notice Title

CSP25072 - GBE Leadership and Culture Development

Notice Description

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Friday 3rd October 2025 at 11:00 am. DO NOT apply directly to the buyer. All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. Brief Description of Requirement: Great British Energy (GBE) is a new organisation that is seeking to procure services to support leadership development, establishing an organisational culture, and providing wider organisational development activities and support. The purpose of this project is to bring together the leadership team understanding their strengths and vision and helping to design GBE's desired culture and values as an organisation. The GBE Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will champion this work, alongside the Human Resource Director (HRD), with regular check-ins and post-workshop debriefs. GBE is seeking a strategic partner with demonstrable expertise in leadership and culture development to support its senior leadership team. The successful supplier will deliver bespoke programmes that cultivate visionary leadership, enhance collaboration, and embed values-driven behaviours across the executive function. This includes facilitating executive coaching, designing immersive development experiences, and supporting behavioural change to strengthen organisational culture. Suppliers must demonstrate a proven track record of driving culture transformation and leadership impact within energy or similarly complex, public sector. We are not asking for a supplier to offer a pre-existing training programme or leadership and management course. Instead, we want to work collaboratively and flexibly with the supplier to support GBE's Executive Leadership Team (ELT) to determine what priority leadership and culture activities they need to focus on for the next 9 months and support them to do this. We do not expect the supplier to be delivering weekly or regular facilitated interventions but instead have focused engagement throughout the period of the contract, with actions and areas for ELT to focus on in between as they will be the ones owning the vision set by their leadership and the organisational culture. Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the Supplier Attachments tab within the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal. This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria as set out in the ITQ document.
