Summary of the contracting process

The Money and Pensions Service, a public law body headquartered in Bedford, has successfully completed a procurement process titled "Leadership Competency Framework" within the business organisation services industry category. The procurement process, which employed a limited method without prior publication due to its classification outside the directive's application scope, aimed to provide specialist support for refining its HR offering. The contract, valued at £65,000 and signed on 15th January 2026, sought to enhance the strategic contribution of HR as the organisation scales. The process covered the region of UKH24, and the contract was awarded to Intelligent Emotion on 10th February 2026, following the evaluation of three bids.

This procurement offers growth opportunities for SME consultants and firms specialising in organisational development and HR strategy, particularly those adept at aligning employee capabilities with strategic business objectives. By engaging in such projects, businesses can leverage their expertise to demonstrate value in shaping large-scale HR frameworks, potentially leading to further collaborations with public sector bodies. Companies with strong competencies in business organisation services and those with a track record of delivering tailored HR solutions would find themselves well-suited to compete in similar tenders.
