## Summary

The procurement process involves the Care Quality Commission (CQC), which is seeking to deliver the "Inspire Programme Services and Executive Development" to support the professional development of its managers. This service falls within the staff training industry category, with a total value of £123,660. The procurement method employed for this initiative is a direct award through a single tender action below the threshold. The project is currently in the Award stage, having concluded the tender period on 23rd August 2018, with the contract period set to run from 24th August 2018 to 31st March 2019.

This tender presents a valuable opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that specialise in staff training and leadership development. Businesses with expertise in designing and delivering executive programmes, particularly those familiar with the needs of public sector organisations, would be exceptionally well-suited to compete for similar contracts. Engaging in this process can not only enhance their portfolio but also facilitate growth through collaboration with a prominent public authority like the Care Quality Commission.

## Notice

After delivering the Inspire programme to over 700 managers it is essential that those recently new to CQC are able to gain the same level of development especially in relation to the adoption and consistent application of appropriate models used on the programme. Since completing the programme we have new managers who have joined CQC and some who could not attend the initial programme for valid reasons. A need has therefore been identified to undertake an additional 3 cohorts of the Inspire programme over 2018/19. This would facilitate an additional 70 managers through the Inspire Programme.
