This initiative falls under the industry category of specialist training services (CPV 80510000) and aims to support the development of leadership within the Royal Navy, including the Royal Marines and associated personnel. Based in Portsmouth, England, the planning process seeks engagement from suppliers to provide insights through a Request for Information (RFI) by 25th July 2025. The programme's scope targets various regions, including the British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, the United Kingdom, and globally, highlighting its extensive reach. This tender represents an attractive opportunity for SMEs focused on developing leadership and training solutions. Businesses equipped to provide innovative, people-centred leadership development services are well-positioned to benefit from this engagement. While this is currently an RFI and not an outright tender, involvement at this stage allows for strategic input into shaping the final procurement process, potentially positioning participating firms favourably for future contracts. The Ministry is specifically interested in insights from market experts with a background in training services and who can contribute to a programme supporting a diverse and dynamic workforce. The ultimate goal is to cultivate agile leaders, making this a significant developmental opportunity for those within the training and leadership sectors. ## Notice This is a Request for Information (RFI) not a tendering opportunity at this time. The Royal Navy (RN) wants relentlessly positive, inspiring, agile and people-centred leaders who deliver. To support this aim, we are considering the introduction of a self-sufficient, work-based Leadership Development and Assessment Programme (LDAP). If introduced, the LDAP would help support our Whole Force including Royal Navy, Royal Marines, Royal Fleet Auxiliary, Regulars, Reserves and RN-connected Civil Servants. The Authority invites suppliers and market experts to submit an RFI to support us in investigating this market further.
