UK2 - Preliminary Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) is in the planning stage for a procurement process aimed at establishing an Executive Development Supplier Framework to assist the senior leadership development throughout NHS Wales.

The procurement covers a comprehensive scope, including coaching, mentoring, facilitation, and expert advisory services. A virtual Supplier Engagement Event is scheduled for 30th March 2026, providing an opportunity for suppliers to gain insights into the framework and interact directly with HEIW representatives.

Being part of the framework can expand businesses' portfolios by targeting a high-profile client in the healthcare sector, and it offers the chance to influence the development and delivery of leadership services across Wales. Companies with expertise in executive leadership and management consulting, particularly those able to offer innovative training solutions and have prior experience in similar frameworks, will be well-positioned to benefit from this opportunity.
