## Summary

The National Archives (TNA) is currently engaged in a procurement process for a Leadership and Organisational Development Partner, aiming to enhance their leadership capabilities through tailored development interventions. This invite is open for businesses within the consultancy and training services industry, situated in Richmond upon Thames, England. The procurement, which follows an open tender procedure, includes a timeline with submissions due by 5 pm on 9th October 2020. The contract, valued up to £110,000, is expected to commence in January 2021 and run for three years with a potential one-year extension.

This tender presents an excellent opportunity for consultancy firms that specialise in leadership development, organisational development, and related training services to collaborate with a significant public institution. Suitable businesses would include SMEs and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) with proven experience in delivering similar services. The emphasis on bespoke solutions and virtual delivery aligns with the growing demand for tailored and flexible consultancy engagements, offering a pathway for business growth and increased visibility in the public sector.

## Notice

The National Archives (TNA) is seeking to engage an external expert Leadership and Organisational Development Partner to work with us to design and deliver a suite of leadership development interventions. These interventions may include (but are not limited to) the use of diagnostic tools, 360 feedback, psychometric instruments, workshop design and facilitation, large and small group interventions, coaching and action learning. These leadership development interventions form part of a wider strategic OD intervention, to grow and develop strong, resilient leadership capability, and collaborative, inclusive leadership, across The National Archives, and to build a talent pipeline for succession planning. The Head of HR and Organisational Development and the HR Manager - Organisational Development have OD, leadership and L&D expertise, and we expect the successful partner to work collaboratively with us, using our experience as a source of data and sounding-board at each stage of design and delivery. We do not expect this intervention to be an off-the-shelf leadership programme, though we are interested in learning from those which have been run in order to tailor the right intervention(s) for TNA. Given the current situation, the successful partner will need to be able to work with us and deliver virtually as well as in-person, adhering at all times to government guidance and social distancing requirements. We anticipate letting this contract for a three year period commencing in January 2021, with an option to extend for a further twelve months. The estimated maximum contract value is PS110,000. This procurement will be run as a two-stage tender. For stage one of the process, we are requesting that potential suppliers respond to this requirement with a statement of no more than 1,000 words describing their experience in delivering these types of services to organisations of a similar type and/or scale. TNA will assess these submissions on a quality basis, and envisages shortlisting a maximum of six potential suppliers to participate in the second stage of the tender process. Please submit the requested statement to procurement@nationalarchives.gov.uk by 5pm on Friday 9th of October 2020.
