Summary of the contracting process

The Department for Transport procured an executive leadership development programme for its senior leaders. The service is designed to strengthen leadership effectiveness, change-management capability, strategic influence and professional development through a structured series of facilitated learning modules. This is an education and training services requirement, with delivery across the United Kingdom. The programme concerns one completed requirement and sits within the Department for Transport’s central-government responsibilities. Suppliers relevant to this work would include organisations that design and deliver executive education, leadership development, management training and facilitated learning for senior public-sector audiences. The requirement is focused on structured development for C-suite or equivalent leaders rather than general staff training, routine consultancy or operational transport services. KPMG was identified as the supplier for the requirement.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. The Department for Transport used a below-threshold direct award without competition. KPMG was awarded the single requirement. The contract was signed on 8 July 2026 and runs from 8 July 2026 to 1 December 2026. Its value is £10,995 excluding VAT, or £13,194 including VAT. The tender was recorded as complete and the award as active. The published scope describes a structured programme of facilitated learning modules for senior leaders, evaluated through a direct-award route rather than a competitive tender. The contracting process was below the relevant threshold. The arrangement covers services delivered across the United Kingdom, with no separate competitive lots or multiple awarded suppliers identified. This procurement therefore records an established Department for Transport purchase rather than an opportunity to submit a bid.

This procurement demonstrates demand from the Department for Transport for focused executive leadership development delivered through a structured programme. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need proven capability in senior-leader or C-suite development, facilitated learning and professional development, with content that can improve leadership effectiveness, change management and strategic influence. Relevant experience would include designing coherent modules rather than offering isolated training sessions, and working with senior public-sector leaders on practical organisational challenges. Suppliers should be able to provide experienced facilitators, a clear leadership-development framework and delivery suitable for a national government department. The requirement is a useful reference point for larger training and professional-services firms, specialist executive-education providers and organisations able to combine leadership expertise with structured programme management.
