Summary of the contracting process

London Councils procured services to develop, manage, deliver and facilitate the London Leadership Programme for cohorts 11 to 13, with an option relating to cohort 14. The requirement combines business and management consultancy, specialist training and personal development training. It covers programme design and development, operational management, delivery and facilitation for participating leaders. The work is delivered in London. This is a public-sector leadership development and training service rather than a construction, goods supply or general recruitment opportunity. The buyer is London Councils, a sub-central public authority. The requirement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to specialist leadership, organisational development, management consultancy and training providers with the capacity to run multi-cohort programmes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to New Local Ltd on 1 July 2026. It used an above-threshold open procedure, with quality weighted at 70% and price at 30%; economic and technical selection criteria also applied. Fifteen bids were received, including 12 from SMEs and one from a voluntary, community or social enterprise. The awarded value was £336,000 excluding VAT (£403,200 including VAT). The resulting contract was signed on 8 September 2026, has a value of £231,735 excluding VAT (£278,082 including VAT), and runs from 10 September 2026 to 1 October 2029. It may extend to 30 September 2030 if the relevant performance conditions are met, including the option for cohort 14.

This award demonstrates a substantial, recurring requirement for a provider able to combine leadership development, management consultancy, specialist training and personal development across several cohorts. A credible competitor would need programme design and facilitation capability, strong delivery management and the capacity to support at least 25 registered participants per cohort. The contracted performance measures also point to the buyer’s priorities: average cohort attendance of 80%, participant satisfaction measured by a 75% recommendation rate, and diverse guest contributors, including targets for women and ethnically diverse speakers. Providers with evidence of delivering structured leadership programmes, monitoring participation and attendance, gathering participant feedback, and managing diverse speaker networks would be well placed when London Councils next reviews this requirement.
