Summary of the contracting process

The Nursing and Midwifery Council bought a management development programme. The requirement covers the design, delivery and evaluation of a programme intended to develop management capability. It is a professional training and organisational development service, classified under management training services (CPV 80532000). The programme is being delivered across the United Kingdom. The buyer is the Nursing and Midwifery Council, a central public authority based in London. The procurement was arranged as a single requirement rather than separate lots, and the selected supplier is Franklin Covey Europe Limited, an SME specialising in management development services. Businesses operating in leadership development, management training, organisational learning or evaluation may find this requirement relevant, particularly where they can provide an end-to-end programme rather than isolated training sessions.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Franklin Covey Europe Limited. The award is active and covers the single management development programme requirement. The contract was signed on 28 August 2026 and runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. Its value is £155,300 excluding VAT, or £186,360 including VAT. The buyer used a below-threshold limited competition, meaning participation was restricted rather than openly available to all suppliers. The tender was evaluated as a services procurement and reached complete status. The award relates to the full requirement for design, delivery and evaluation of the management development programme, with delivery across the United Kingdom. No separate lot awards were made.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from the Nursing and Midwifery Council for a complete management development service, covering programme design, delivery and evaluation. A future competitor would need credible expertise in management and leadership development, the ability to design a structured programme for a professional public body, and the resources to deliver consistently across the United Kingdom. Evaluation capability is important because the requirement includes assessing the programme, not simply providing training sessions. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that a specialist provider can compete for this scale of work without being a large corporate organisation. Businesses with established management-training methodologies, experienced facilitators, programme-management capacity and evidence of measuring learning or organisational outcomes would be well placed to assess this buyer’s requirement when it returns to market.
