UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "BaDC-1566 Leadership and Talent Academy" involved Bassetlaw District Council as the contracting authority, with Welland Procurement serving as the procuring entity. This tender, which focused on the industry category of "Personnel-training services" and "Staff development services," aimed to enhance leadership and talent within the council's ranks in Worksop, UKF15 region. Notably, the procurement method was an open, competitive flexible procedure, comprising two stages: Quality and Commercial Assessment followed by Presentation. The process commenced on 3rd October 2025, with submissions required by 3rd November 2025, at 12:00 noon. Unfortunately, the tender was eventually marked as completed due to the absence of a suitable supplier to meet the council's specifications after the two-stage process concluded.

This tender represented a significant opportunity for service providers specialising in leadership and staff development. Businesses adept in delivering comprehensive training programmes designed to foster management skills in dynamic environments would have found participation beneficial. Particularly, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were encouraged to apply, given the procurement's support for diverse supplier types. The pursued services carried a value of up to £120,000, offering substantial business growth potential for firms able to align with the council's leadership development goals and ensure robust organisational resilience through enhanced service delivery. Though the process has concluded without awarding a contract, similar opportunities may arise in the future for well-prepared entities within the sector.
