UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Bracknell Forest Borough Council purchased places for a cohort of five senior leaders to attend Impower Consulting Ltd’s Complex Transformation Academy. This is a leadership development and training service focused on complex transformation. The programme is for the council’s senior leaders, rather than a general training course for a broad workforce. Delivery is in Bracknell Forest, Berkshire. The requirement concerns access to the academy for the specified cohort, delivered by the selected provider.

The procurement is complete and the contract is active. Bracknell Forest Borough Council awarded the work directly to Impower Consulting Ltd without competition, using a below-threshold procedure. The award covered one lot. The contract was signed on 14 October 2026 and runs from 1 November 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £55,000 excluding VAT (£66,000 including VAT). The council selected five places for senior leaders to attend the Complex Transformation Academy. The procurement data does not set out a scored evaluation basis; the direct award route meant there was no competitive tender evaluation.

For a future requirement of this kind, credible providers would need to deliver a focused leadership programme on complex transformation and accommodate a cohort of senior public-sector leaders. The award demonstrates demand from Bracknell Forest Borough Council for a small, tailored group programme rather than a large-scale workforce training offer. Relevant capability would include experience developing senior leaders’ understanding and practice of transformation, with delivery suited to the council’s context and the needs of experienced participants. Impower Consulting Ltd was selected as the provider, so competitors should be able to show a compelling programme and evidence that they can deliver comparable specialist leadership development. The council used a direct award without competition for this purchase; the award does not establish that any later procurement will use the same route.
