GMC2207 delivery of Training, CPD, Supervision and Executive Coaching
Notice Description
To engage a supplier who aligns with our coaching culture and can deliver a comprehensive programme of accredited training, ongoing CPD, and supervision for our qualified coaches, alongside access to ad-hoc 1:1 executive-level coaching from June 2026
Planning Information
As part of preparation for future commissioning of coaching services, a pre-market engagement exercise was conducted with a range of coaching providers. This format involved meeting with 5 suppliers over MS teams for 45 minutes in duration. The discussions offered valuable insight into the evolving landscape of coaching and the emerging needs of today’s workforce. A consistent message emerged: coaching is undergoing a period of significant expansion and transformation. Expectations of coaching are broadening, the workforce environment is becoming more complex, and organisations are seeking deeper impact, greater inclusion, and more strategic alignment.
