## Summary

The Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) is conducting a tender for the "Provision of Leadership Development Centres (NFCC Leadership Framework)" aimed at enhancing leadership capabilities within the fire service. The procurement process is in the 'Award' stage, with a notable completion date of 28th January 2020, following a tender period that ended on 6th December 2019. The contract, valued at £99,575, is set to commence on 29th January 2020 and will run until 31st March 2020. This initiative falls within the services industry category, specifically focusing on human resources management consultancy services, and the delivery is to be executed in the North West region of England.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in leadership development and human resources consultancy. Companies that can demonstrate expertise in delivering tailored leadership training and development programmes, particularly those familiar with the fire and rescue services sector, would be well-positioned to compete. The GMCA is looking for a trusted partner to provide support, signalling an ideal opportunity for SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to engage in a meaningful contract that could enhance their visibility and impact within the public sector.

## Notice

The GMCA are seeking to introduce the National Fire Chiefs Councils (NFCC) Leadership Framework, which will require significant and targeted investment in leaders at all levels, increasing capability and developing self-awareness. To achieve this objective we are planning to hold development centres, with an emphasis on supporting individuals by helping them to understand how their role can contribute to the Services Strategic agenda, as well as providing them with the necessary tools and techniques to be successful leaders. In addition to this, the Service is keen to understand the existing management capabilities, which in turn will inform future learning and development requirements and succession planning. Our ambition is to deliver the development centres over a relatively short period, ideally by the end of January 2020 and certainly before the end of the financial year. This challenging timeframe coupled with limited internal resource, means that we will need to secure external resource and we are therefore seeking a trusted partner to work with us. In accordance with the GMCA Constitution and Procurement Rules, this opportunity is being conducted under our RFQ rules and as such is not an open competition, it will be open to the invited list of selected suppliers only.
