UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Thurrock Council procured leadership development and organisational consultancy to support its senior leadership team. The requirement is a specialist training service, covering leadership training and related organisational consultancy rather than construction, supplies or routine administration. Delivery spans England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East and South West. The buying organisation is Thurrock Council, based in Grays, Essex. The work is therefore relevant to providers that can combine structured leadership development with consultancy for senior public-sector leaders and can deliver across multiple English regions.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a direct, below-threshold procedure without competition. One lot was completed. Leadership Centre was selected as supplier. The contract was signed on 16 September 2026 and runs from 16 September 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £89,250 excluding VAT and £107,100 including VAT. The award is for services and the contract is active. The published procurement information identifies specialist training services as the classification. The outcome shows that Thurrock Council used a non-competitive route for a defined leadership development and organisational consultancy requirement, rather than inviting competing tenders.

This procurement indicates demand for providers able to support a council’s senior leadership team through leadership development and organisational consultancy delivered across England. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need demonstrated capability in specialist leadership training, practical organisational development and consultancy for senior public-sector decision-makers. The selected supplier is an SME, showing that this type of work can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national consultancy. Relevant businesses should be able to combine advisory work with structured training, understand local-government leadership environments and manage delivery across a geographically broad English footprint.
