## Summary

The procurement process for a Contract Awarded by the Agriculture & Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) focuses on sourcing a learning and development partner to enhance the performance of their Leadership and Senior teams in Kenilworth, England. This procurement falls under the industry category of personnel-training services and was conducted via an open procedure, with a total contract value of £100,000. The tender period concluded on 25 July 2018, and the contract commenced on 5 November 2018, extending to 31 October 2022.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in personnel training and development to engage directly with a public sector organisation. Suitable contenders include SMEs that offer innovative learning solutions and team-building interventions aimed at fostering behavioural change within management teams. The awarded contract to Farscape Development Ltd indicates a requirement for capable providers who can deliver effective, scalable training programmes tailored to the needs of AHDB's leadership cohort.

## Notice

AHDB is seeking a learning and development partner to support the on-going development of the Leadership and Senior teams. (A total of approx. 20-25 individuals). This group undertook a leadership development programme during 2016/17 and have had a number of subsequent team development days. Despite this, we are not seeing the shift in behaviour that should be expected. As part of our commitment to develop a more engaged workforce it is imperative that this group of managers are performing effectively, both on an individual basis and within their respective teams. Under the guidance of, and in partnership with, the Head of Learning & Development, we are looking for a sole provider to design and implement a series of engaging interventions with this team to engender behavioural change and alignment as a team. Please note we are not looking for 1:1 coaching interventions.
