Summary of the contracting process

NHS Business Services Authority procured leadership training for its leadership team. The requirement covers training sessions focused on people science and personal development, falling within education and training services. Delivery is in the United Kingdom. The buying organisation is a central government public authority based in Newcastle upon Tyne. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate service packages, and the selected provider is People Science Consulting, based in Morpeth. This is relevant to organisations that design and deliver leadership development, people science, management development or related personal development programmes for public-sector leadership teams. The requirement is service-based, with the emphasis on delivering structured training sessions rather than supplying physical goods or undertaking construction work.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to People Science Consulting. NHS Business Services Authority used a direct award below the relevant threshold, without competition, covering one lot. The award was made on 4 August 2026, and the contract was signed on the same date. The contract runs from 5 August 2026 to 1 November 2026. Its value is £36,838.70 excluding VAT, or £44,206.44 including VAT. The contract is active. The selected supplier is People Science Consulting. The process records the service category as education and training, including personal development training. The published outcome therefore confirms a short-term leadership-training engagement procured through a non-competitive below-threshold route, rather than an open tender evaluated against competing bids.

This procurement demonstrates demand from NHS Business Services Authority for specialist leadership-team training delivered over a defined, short engagement. Suppliers well placed for comparable work would offer credible expertise in people science, leadership development and personal development training, together with the ability to design and deliver sessions for a senior organisational audience. Relevant experience should include translating behavioural, organisational or people-focused practice into practical leadership learning. A competitor would also need sufficient delivery capacity to support a central government healthcare-sector body and provide a professional, dependable service within a concentrated programme. People Science Consulting is recorded as a large supplier, indicating that the requirement was satisfied by an established organisation rather than a very small independent provider. Future credibility would depend on demonstrable training quality, suitable facilitators and public-sector delivery experience.
