## Summary

The Intellectual Property Office bought in-person training for staff cohorts: the Civil Service Learning Influencing and Persuading course, titled as the Stepping Into Leadership course. The work is personal development training, delivered in Newport. KPMG LLP was the provider. The requirement is for cohort-based learning delivered face to face, rather than a general training programme or an online course.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to KPMG LLP. The award date was 30 September 2026, and the contract runs from 22 September 2026 to 31 March 2028. The awarded value is £17,796.32. The estimated tender value was also £17,796.32. The submission deadline was 16 September 2026 at 12:00. The procurement method is recorded as “Other”; no further procedure description or evaluation basis is provided in the available details. The requirement is presented as a single course for staff cohorts, with no separate lots described. The stated suitability indicators say the opportunity was not suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier considering similar work for the Intellectual Property Office, this award indicates demand for in-person, cohort-based staff training in influencing and persuading, associated with Civil Service Learning and leadership development. A credible competitor would need to deliver this subject to groups face to face and show that its course meets the buyer’s staff-development need. The awarded provider was a large organisation, and the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises; this signals that the buyer selected a supplier positioned to deliver the requirement at that scale. The available details do not identify particular accreditations, trainer qualifications or evaluation priorities, so these should not be assumed to have been decisive.
