Summary of the contracting process

Cambridge City Council is procuring health, wellbeing and personal resilience training for its employees during Government-led Local Government Reorganisation. The appointed training provider will design and deliver a programme of learning, supporting resources and practical support for staff facing significant organisational change. The programme is intended to help employees maintain physical and mental wellbeing, manage the emotional and practical effects of uncertainty, build resilience, navigate ambiguity and sustain personal effectiveness. It should also support a collaborative, courageous, compassionate and accountable workplace culture, helping staff continue to deliver services to residents. This is an education and training services requirement, including general training services. The work is for Cambridge City Council and its workforce in Cambridge.

The process has reached tender: Cambridge City Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Enquiries could be submitted until 8 September 2026 at 23:59, and offers were due by 15 September 2026 at 12:00. The contract is planned to run from 28 September 2026 to 27 September 2029, with a possible continuation of services to 26 September 2030. The overall estimated gross value is £60,000. The single lot is recorded with a gross value of AED 60,000, so bidders should clarify which currency applies. Electronic submission is allowed. Evaluation is weighted 70% quality and 30% price. The requirement is classified as services and is below the relevant threshold.

This opportunity suits an experienced organisational learning, employee wellbeing or resilience training provider able to design a coherent programme rather than deliver isolated sessions. Relevant suppliers should be able to combine learning interventions, practical resources and ongoing support for employees experiencing organisational change. Strong capability in physical and mental wellbeing, personal resilience, emotional support, managing uncertainty, confidence-building and sustaining effectiveness will be important. The provider should understand how to support staff through transition while maintaining a positive, high-performing workplace culture and continuity of public services. Experience working with organisations undergoing restructuring, transformation or local government change would be particularly relevant. Suppliers should be able to align content and delivery with the Council’s collaborative, courageous, compassionate and accountable values, and demonstrate the capacity to support its employee population throughout the programme.
