## Summary

The procurement process involves the Department for Transport, which has initiated a tender titled "EFQM Membership." This contract falls under the services industry category and is located in London, England. The procurement is at the Award stage, with the contract valued at £50,000. The contract period is set to commence on 1 April 2019 and conclude on 31 March 2020. The tender method utilised was a direct approach, specifically a single tender action below the threshold, with the tender period having ended on 20 March 2019.

This tender offers a significant opportunity for businesses that specialise in subscription services, particularly those with experience in organisational performance benchmarking and training. Companies able to facilitate organisational improvement and continuous learning frameworks, especially in a public sector context, would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The involvement of large entities such as the TIES Partners enhances the potential for growth and collaboration within the sector.

## Notice

There is an opportunity for the TIES Partners (NWR, HS2, TfL, DfT, HE) to benchmark, compare and learn from one another at an organisational and programme delivery level using EFQM. Presently, the TIES partners have no simple mechanism in place to compare performance against one another, or with organisations in other sectors, so they can use this intelligence drive collective continuous learning around programme and organisational delivery. We tend to look inwards rather than outwards for solutions. EFQM has been used for several decades by prominent multinational companies to drive up performance and research suggests a strong correlation between its adoption and increased performance and profit levels. To demonstrate proof of concept, DfT will subscribe to EFQM membership on behalf of TIES for Year 1.
