## Summary

The Office for National Statistics commissioned the design and in-person facilitation of a mandatory two-hour leadership seminar for all its G6 and G7 colleagues, approximately 1,200 people. The sessions are to be delivered in Newport and Titchfield. This is a professional business service covering leadership development, seminar design, training delivery and facilitation, classified under CPV 79000000, which covers business services including consulting and related activities. The requirement is for an organisation or consultant able to create a suitable seminar programme and deliver it directly to a large senior civil service audience across the two locations. The work concerns learning and development for the Office for National Statistics rather than general event management or routine administrative support.

This procurement has been awarded following a direct single-tender action below the applicable threshold. The Office for National Statistics awarded the contract to Matthew Syed Consulting on 20 August 2026 for £70,000. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 5pm. The procurement is complete and the award is active. The requirement was evaluated and progressed as a services contract for the full seminar activity rather than separate lots. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, while participation was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The selected supplier is delivering the complete requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates demand from the Office for National Statistics for externally designed and facilitated leadership development delivered in person to a substantial senior-staff audience. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need strong expertise in leadership seminars, the ability to design a focused two-hour session, and proven facilitation skills that work with G6 and G7-level participants. It would also need sufficient capacity and dependable delivery arrangements for approximately 1,200 colleagues across Newport and Titchfield, with the flexibility to operate across more than one site. The SME suitability indicates that a specialist consultancy or experienced independent provider can be well placed to compete.
