Summary of the contracting process

Plymouth Community Homes is seeking a provider to design and deliver a Leadership Development Programme for its leaders. The programme is intended to build consistent and accountable leadership behaviours that improve organisational performance and outcomes, rather than relying on generic leadership models. It should help participants continue learning, engage with one another and work collaboratively beyond the formal modules. Delivery will be modular, with each cohort expected to include around 12 leaders and the overall requirement describing approximately 13 cohorts. The work covers leadership development, management training, staff training, personal development, training seminars and the preparation of training materials. Plymouth Community Homes is based in Plymouth and is the public-sector buyer for this service.

The procurement has reached tender: Plymouth Community Homes invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. It is a single-lot services contract with an estimated value of £125,000 excluding VAT (£150,000 including VAT). The contract is scheduled to run from 30 November 2026 to 30 November 2028. Questions or clarification requests had to be submitted by 8 September 2026 at 11:00 UTC, and offers had to be submitted by 11 September 2026 at 11:00 UTC. Electronic submission was allowed. Offers are evaluated on a technical and commercial basis, weighted 80% technical and 20% commercial. The procurement is below the relevant threshold and is not divided into multiple lots.

This opportunity suits leadership-development consultancies, management-training providers and specialist organisational-development firms able to design and deliver a structured programme over an extended period. Relevant capability includes creating modular learning, developing consistent and accountable leadership behaviours, improving performance and outcomes, and supporting collaborative learning between formal sessions. Providers should be able to work with successive cohorts of leaders and sustain delivery across a programme involving approximately 13 cohorts, each of around 12 participants. Experience in leadership, management or staff development and the ability to prepare training manuals or other learning materials are directly relevant. The requirement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, making it potentially accessible to organisations beyond large corporate training providers.
