Summary of the contracting process

NHS Blood and Transplant is seeking executive team development and coaching to support a wider business transformation programme. The three-year service is for its executive and senior team, combining coaching and development with support for organisational transformation. The requirement is for coaching services, rather than a generic coaching programme: suppliers must understand the needs of a senior executive team undergoing major change. The buyer is NHS Blood and Transplant, a central government public authority. The procurement is structured as a single lot and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The source describes work with the organisation’s senior team but does not give a delivery location.

The buyer invited offers through an open competitive flexible procedure. The process reached tender, with bidders asked to submit a written technical response; the highest-scoring bidders then proceed to an in-person presentation or a presentation based on a published scenario and set questions. The enquiry deadline was 6 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC, and the bid deadline was 17 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC. The expected contract period runs from 1 January 2027 to 30 December 2029. The estimated value is £600,000 excluding VAT (£720,000 including VAT). Evaluation weights are 55% technical quality, 15% presentation and 30% commercial. Technical quality assesses demonstrated experience of the published scope; commercial assessment uses a basket of core deliverables and optional requirements.

This opportunity suits coaching and organisational development consultancies with demonstrable experience supporting senior executive teams through transformation or major change. The buyer explicitly distinguishes the requirement from a generic coaching programme, so bidders need to show they can work with an executive team in the context of business transformation, not just provide individual coaching. Suppliers should be able to evidence experience across the requested scope in a written technical submission and, for those progressing beyond that assessment, present their approach in person or respond to a set scenario and questions. The single-lot requirement is marked suitable for SMEs, making it relevant to smaller specialist providers as well as larger consultancies. The three-year engagement calls for the capacity to sustain support for an executive and senior team over an extended transformation programme.»} buhay}人人碰 араион} a final JSON parse issue?
