## Summary

The procurement process for the "FOOTSTEPS 2A - Pastoral Support" contract, initiated by the Ministry of Defence, involves the provision of pastoral supervision and support to chaplains. This process was awarded on 28th October 2020, with a contract period spanning from 30th October 2020 to 31st March 2022, including an option for a 6-month extension. The tender was classified under the CPV code for staff training services, with an estimated value of £36,672. The procurement method was a direct single tender action since the contract value is below the OJEU thresholds, and it was completed in the award stage as of 4th November 2020.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the training and development sector, particularly those specialising in staff training, personal development, and tutorial services. Businesses equipped to deliver supportive supervision and theological training for clergy would be particularly suited to compete, enhancing their profiles while contributing to the community's pastoral care. The engagement with a key sector like the Ministry of Defence further underscores the potential for meaningful collaborations that can lead to growth and sustained relationships within the public sector.

## Notice

The purpose and measure of Pastoral Supervision in this context is to provide chaplains with a supportive process of theological reflection on their ministry in order that they are better equipped personally and professional to fulfil their God-given ministry, to maximise their gifts and talents, and to provide a reflective environment which encourages mutual trust, mutual flourishing, and an assurance of enduring pastoral care for their ministry. This was procured through Single Source as it is below the OJEU thresholds. It was awarded to St Lukes on 28/10/2020 for a period of 18 months, with an option period of 6 months following this
