This programme is classified under specialist training services and will be based in London, UK. The tender process is currently in the active stage, with the tender period ending on 21 August 2020. The programme is set to commence on 5 October 2020 and will run until 5 March 2021, providing training for approximately 40 current managers, including Director level, over a period of six months using an open procurement method. This tender presents a significant opportunity for training providers and consultancy firms specialising in management training services. Businesses that have expertise in developing tailored management programmes, as well as those experienced in behavioural and performance training, would be particularly well-suited to compete for this contract. By participating in this tender, companies can not only grow their business by securing a government contract but also contribute to enhancing the capacity of a key public organisation across the sporting sector. ## Notice UK Sport are seeking to appoint a provider who can deliver essential management skills development training across our organisation. The purpose of this is to raise levels of management competence, skills and confidence, developing committed and capable managers in order to drive, support and develop their teams. Rationale As an organisation, we recognise that building our management capability is critical to our future delivery success. Whilst we have invested internally in developing coaching skills over the past few years, we haven't made a holistic management development offering since 2015 and so there are many staff who have not undergone any formal or targeted development in this area whilst at UK Sport. Furthermore, HR data (exit interviews, starter questionnaires, HR 'intelligence', staff surveys) indicate inconsistent levels of management confidence and competence and we therefore identify there is space for organisational growth in this area. Context In conjunction with our externally (sport) facing people development team, we have mapped the proposed programme aims and essential 'kit bag' of skills to an outwardly focused 'Leadership Framework' - see below. The Manager Essentials programme presents an important opportunity for our internal staff development to be aligned to what is being delivered across the high-performance system. Specifically, the manager essentials programme would fall under the scope of 'Leading Others - manages and aligns people and process to drive performance'. In preparation of the development programme, the UK Sport HR Team are running a series of webinars over the coming months around key employee related themes such as managing absence, managing performance, family friendly rights and dignity at work in order to build knowledge around internal policy and process and 'how to handle' these issues from a cultural perspective. Timings Our aim is to run the programme over a six-month period from October 2020-March 2021. In pursuit of delivery quality, we would be able to slightly extend timeframes into the new financial year. October-December 2020 will be a particularly busy delivery time for the organisation and therefore the programme set-up should be sympathetic to this. Cohort The programme will need to serve approximately 40 delegates, all current people managers with varying levels of management experience, across the hierarchy within the organisation (including Director level). We therefore require the programme to create a consistent, 'foundation' level approach with the ability to stretch more experienced managers as appropriate. The programme should be delivered in a maximum of the equivalent of 5/6 days (30/36 hours) learning spread across the 6-month period. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c441a2fc-5443-426a-8108-68e9929d9441 | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure (below threshold) | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 Aug 2020 | | Submission deadline | 21 Aug 2020 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 4 Oct 2020 - 5 Mar 2021 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | THE UNITED KINGDOM SPORTS COUNCIL | | Locality | LONDON | | Post town | Central London | | Postcode | WC1B 3HF | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLI London | | ITL 2 | TLI3 Inner London - West | | ITL 3 | TLI36 Camden | | Local authority | Camden | | Electoral ward | Bloomsbury | | Westminster constituency | Holborn and St Pancras | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 80 - Education and training services ### Codes - 80510000 - Specialist training services - 80520000 - Training facilities - 80532000 - Management training services - 80570000 - Personal development training services ## Release History - 13 Aug 2020 at 15:54 - TenderAmendment - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c441a2fc-5443-426a-8108-68e9929d9441 - 28 Jul 2020 at 08:54 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c441a2fc-5443-426a-8108-68e9929d9441 ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/c441a2fc-5443-426a-8108-68e9929d9441 13th August 2020 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/fc41c943-2d96-4662-a8c3-a3326ebc4368 Management Development Programme ITT - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/Attachment/786b453a-93be-4afa-8c29-d99e25c5ff9b Tenderer Q&A ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
