Leadership Development Programmes

CLACKMANNANSHIRE COUNCIL

This public procurement record has 2 releases in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

Clackmannanshire Council, a regional local authority based in Alloa (UKM72), has completed the procurement process for two leadership development programmes aimed at both aspiring leaders and senior-level management. This process was initiated with an open procedure under the services category, aligning with the Council's objectives for its Target Operating Model (TOM). The tender, titled "Leadership Development Programmes," was issued in late 2025 and subsequently awarded. The contract for each programme was signed on 8 April 2026, following the tender submission deadline on 16 January 2026. These programmes are to be delivered in a hybrid format, accommodating both face-to-face and online environments.

The procurement provides significant opportunities for businesses specialising in leadership training and educational services, particularly those capable of delivering innovative, flexible learning solutions. The successful business ideally should be equipped to support the development of leadership skills across various organisational levels. Human by Practice, a small-to-medium-sized enterprise (SME) based in Edinburgh, has successfully secured both lots. This underscores the suitability and competitive edge SMEs have in this sector, especially if they have a robust portfolio in hybrid programme delivery. Businesses adept at electronic submissions and with capabilities for electronic payments and invoicing would find themselves well-positioned for similar future opportunities with the Council.
