This procurement is currently at the Award stage as of 6th May 2020. The initial tender period ended on 24th January 2020. The contract, valued at approximately £470,000, is aimed at enhancing the skills of the university's line managers through a comprehensive training programme that aligns with its strategic goals. The contract is set to commence on 1st May 2020 and will run until 30th April 2024. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialised in staff training and management development services. Firms that have experience providing leadership training, performance management schemes, or personal development programmes would be particularly suited to compete. The procurement has been structured as an open procedure, allowing a diverse range of suppliers, including small and medium-sized enterprises, to submit proposals through the university's e-tendering platform, In-Tend. Engaging with this process could enhance a business's reach within the educational sector and contribute to its growth. ## Notice The University of Southampton is a research-intensive university and a founding member of the Russell Group. In 2016 we launched our Simply Better strategy which outlines our aspirations for the future and describes our four core values; collegiality, sustainability, internationalisation and quality. Substantial work has taken place since then to create the foundations for our strategy and we are now in a position to increase the focus on the development of our line managers to ensure they are supported to be the best they can be and deliver our strategy. We have over 6000 staff members, of which 1350 have line management responsibility across the academic and professional service community. The Leadership and Management Development Team (LMDT) was formed in 2016 to provide training to all line managers, the team is made up of 8 staff members; the Head of Leadership and Management Development, 4 training facilitators and 3 administrative support staff. The Leadership and Management Development Framework (LMDF) was introduced to outline the skills required to develop high performing leaders and managers. A number of blended learning interventions from the framework have been developed, which have focused on building line manager competence in two key areas, performance management and change. Within the line manager population many have had no formal line management development and some do not even recognise the responsibilities they hold with this role, resulting in different levels of competence and confidence. To provide additional clarity regarding the specific responsibilities of line managers we have introduced five Line Manager Expectations; Managing People, Managing the Student and Customer Experience, Managing Financial Decisions, Managing Risk and Managing Compliance. We now plan to introduce, a comprehensive line-management development programme aligned to the LMDF and our strategic goals. The Leading for the Future Programme will develop line manager competence and confidence in delivering all five of the line manager expectations and will enable them to develop a consistent approach to line management.
