## Summary

The Crown Commercial Service is overseeing a contract extension titled "Contract Variation / Extension of Initial Contract Period for Major Project Leadership Academy (MPLA)" within the training services industry category. This procurement is in the award stage, having been awarded on 25 January 2012, with an active contract period running until 24 January 2019. The contract, initially valued at £15,200,000, has been extended, indicating a total value of £16,500,000. The delivery addresses cover a wide range of locations including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in training and leadership development, particularly those focused on government and large organisational clients. With the ongoing need for major project leadership training among senior officials, companies with expertise in educational programme design and delivery would be well-suited to engage in future related procurements. The emphasis on professional development makes this a prime opportunity for SMEs invested in training services to grow their clientele within the public sector.

## Notice

This is a contract extension, which extends the existing contract (RM1631) until 24/01/19. The original contract provides the design and delivery of the Major Project Leadership Academy. This is designed to provide training on Major Project Leadership, Technical understanding of Major Project Delivery, and Commercial Capability to senior officials. The initial contract covered Phase 1 (develop and refine the Academy offer in respect of its content, structure and teaching/learning approach, including delivering the first module and designing and running a workshop for Permanent Secretaries and Directors General), and Phase 2 (delivery of the full Academy offer developed in Phase 1). The extension is for the Extended Phase 2, which continues the delivery of the full Academy offer and the development and delivery of further workshops for senior officials.
