## Summary

The NHS Improvement has completed a public procurement process titled "Executive Sensei Programme - NHS Executive Lean Coaching and Mentoring," which aims to deliver expert coaching and mentoring to NHS Chief Executives and Boards. This contract, which falls under the coaching services industry category, had a total value of £52,500 and was awarded on 17 March 2020. The contract period is set to run from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021, with delivery expected across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, including the North East, Yorkshire and the Humber, and London. The procurement method was an open procedure, and the tender period ended on 9 March 2020.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in coaching and mentoring services, particularly those experienced in supporting public sector entities like the NHS. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as large firms with expertise in Lean principles and systems thinking, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. As the NHS continues to evolve its improvement practices, providers that can demonstrate effective methodologies and measurable success in delivering coaching services will likely find increasing demand.
