Summary of the contracting process

VIVID Housing Ltd bought leadership development services to deliver two year-long programmes: one for aspiring middle managers and one for senior leaders. The purpose is to develop the leadership skills, capabilities and behaviours needed for future leadership roles and to strengthen VIVID’s pipeline of future leaders. This is organisational development and management training rather than general recruitment, staffing or construction work. Delivery is for VIVID Housing Ltd in the United Kingdom. The requirement sits within development consultancy services, covering structured leadership programmes for participants at different management levels. Suppliers relevant to this type of work include leadership development consultancies, management training providers and specialist organisational development firms able to design and deliver programmes for both emerging and established leaders.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. HENRI STEVENSON LTD was selected on 10 September 2026 for the single requirement. The awarded value and signed contract value are both £82,140 gross. The contract was signed on 10 September 2026 and runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 January 2028. The award is active and the contract is active. The requirement was not divided into multiple competed opportunities: it comprised one completed lot. The published outcome shows a completed purchase of leadership development consultancy, with the selected supplier responsible for delivering the two programmes over the contract period.

This award demonstrates demand from a housing provider for structured leadership development covering both aspiring middle managers and senior leaders, with a focus on practical skills, capabilities and behaviours for progression into future leadership roles. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to assess leadership-development needs, design programmes suited to different management levels and deliver them consistently over an extended period. Relevant experience should include developing management capability, supporting leadership pipelines and translating organisational objectives into learning activities and behavioural development. Providers able to work with a housing organisation and demonstrate reliable programme delivery, appropriate facilitators and outcomes-focused development expertise would be well placed when this type of requirement returns to the market.
