UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Qualifications Wales is seeking a provider for a leadership and management development programme on behalf of a group of Welsh Government Sponsored Bodies. The programme is intended to build the skills and knowledge of aspiring leaders and established leaders in strategic roles. Delivery is expected to serve around 20 to 30 participants each year, potentially in smaller cohorts, with Welsh and English language options. The service is classified as education and training. The participating bodies will each contract directly with the appointed supplier to buy the services. Delivery is across the United Kingdom; no specific delivery sites are identified.

The buyer invited offers through an open competition for a single-lot framework agreement. The enquiry deadline was 10 November 2026 at 16:00, and the bid deadline was 16 November 2026 at 10:00. The framework is scheduled to run from 3 February 2027 to 2 February 2030, with two possible extensions of up to 12 months each, giving a maximum extent to 2 February 2032. The estimated value is £330,000 excluding VAT (£400,000 including VAT). Evaluation weights programme content and delivery method at 35%, service and account management at 30%, social value at 5%, and price at 30%. A participation stage uses scored technical-capacity criteria to shortlist up to five bidders for the tender stage.

The opportunity suits leadership-development providers able to design and deliver a programme for varied experience levels, from aspiring leaders to senior leaders in strategic roles. Suppliers should be capable of serving cohorts of around 20 to 30 people annually, with the flexibility to split participants into smaller groups and offer bilingual delivery. Strong programme design and teaching methods will be central to the competition, alongside reliable service and account management. The quality assessment also gives weight to social value, while price accounts for a substantial share of the decision. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are considered suitable. Optional individual coaching may be required by some participating bodies, but the buyer has made no commitment to purchase it.
