Summary of the contracting process

DFT Operator Limited commissioned executive team coaching consultancy services for its executive team. The work is coaching, rather than general management consultancy, and is classified as coaching services (CPV 79998000). The contract covers one lot and is for delivery in the United Kingdom. The published scope describes the requirement at a high level as provision of executive team coaching; it does not identify specific coaching formats or deliverables.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to Panthea Leadership Ltd, a small and medium-sized enterprise. DFT Operator Limited used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 1 June 2026 and runs from 1 June 2026 to 1 June 2027. Its value is £84,000 excluding VAT and £100,800 including VAT. The process comprised one lot, and the award is active. The published procurement information gives no further evaluation basis or eligibility conditions.

For suppliers considering this buyer’s future executive team coaching requirement, the award demonstrates demand for a specialist consultancy service delivered to an organisation’s executive team. A credible competitor would need to show relevant coaching capability and experience working with senior leadership teams, as well as the capacity to provide a focused consultancy engagement. Panthea Leadership Ltd, the selected supplier, is an SME, indicating that this requirement was delivered by a smaller provider rather than necessarily requiring a large consultancy. The procurement used a direct award without competition, so there is no published competitive evaluation model to use as a template. Suppliers should position their executive coaching expertise and ability to meet this buyer’s requirement.
