## Summary

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is seeking a trusted external partner to design and deliver a Leadership Development Programme for Departmental leaders. The programme aims to enhance the effectiveness of around 950 Departmental Leaders in the BBC, with emphasis on new roles. The procurement method is open, with a contract period starting on February 1, 2024, and potentially extending for up to 12 months. The procurement stage is at the award phase, with the tender period ending on October 2, 2023.

This tender by the BBC offers opportunities for businesses providing personal development training services to compete for a contract worth £315,000 GBP. The programme, focusing on leadership solutions, targets SMEs with capabilities to deliver scaled-up learning solutions. Companies with experience in delivering bespoke training programmes for large organisations are well-suited to compete. The location for service delivery spans across various countries, providing a global opportunity for interested bidders.

## Notice

The BBC wants to launch a new Leadership Development Programme in the first quarter of 2024 to build the effectiveness of its Departmental leaders. The proposed solution would be open initially to new and prioritised Departmental leaders from all divisions and functional areas of the BBC, including staff from public service and commercial areas, based across the UK and around the world. We are seeking a trusted external partner to design and deliver this new blended learning solution. There are around 950 Departmental Leaders in the BBC. Approximately 70 are new to their role each year. Places on the blended cohort development programme will be targeted at newly transitioned leaders in their first departmental leader role. We estimate a minimum annual demand of 70 per year for this leadership solution, covering all newcomers to that level and a small number of others prioritised to promote accelerated progression. However, we are interested in working with external partners with the capacity to scale up to offer more places on the programme to meet business need. BBC departmental leaders carry out a range of roles and are key to the BBC's ability to deliver value to all audiences whilst changing and adapting. They are mainly highly experienced professionals managing relatively large areas of the BBC.
