Summary of the contracting process

Clackmannanshire Council is seeking a provider to deliver values-based leadership experiences for council staff teams and young people in Clackmannanshire. The work is intended to help participants connect with their values, recognise their strengths and experiences, build trust and develop confidence and resilience through shared learning. For staff, this includes reflective leadership, stronger relationships between teams and confidence to challenge systems and processes that do not meet lived experience or community needs. For young people, it includes residential experiences supporting personal growth, connection, leadership development and a stronger voice in their communities. The service is classified as leadership development and training services (CPV 80000000). The buyer is Clackmannanshire Council, based in Alloa; delivery is in Clackmannanshire.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The process reached the tender stage, with electronic submissions required. The deadline set for receipt of offers was 5 November 2026 at 12 noon; the stated evaluation period begins at that time. The contract period is 7 December 2026 to 31 March 2030, with an option to extend by 24 months. The estimated contract value is £600,000. There is one lot covering the staff and young people’s leadership programme, and variant bids are not allowed. The award basis and detailed eligibility requirements are not stated in the available procurement information. Funding after April 2027, including the later financial years and any extension, depends on satisfactory grant funding. Bids must remain valid for 90 days, and bidders must provide names and qualifications of assigned staff.

This opportunity suits providers with experience designing and delivering values-based leadership and shared-learning programmes for both public-sector staff and young people. Relevant capability includes reflective leadership facilitation, team development and relationship-building, alongside youth work that can deliver residential experiences focused on personal growth, confidence, voice and leadership. Suppliers should be able to create safe, engaging experiences that help participants recognise their strengths and build trust and resilience. The requirement also calls for named delivery staff and their qualifications. Community-benefit commitments are part of the requirement: proposals should set out measurable activities such as volunteering, mentoring or coaching, employability and skills development, school engagement, community partnerships, or use of local suppliers and community organisations. Commitments need clear deliverables, quantities, timescales, a responsible lead and monitoring arrangements. This is a multi-year service with funding beyond April 2027 dependent on grants.
