## Summary

The National Archives has awarded a contract for the "Aspiring Managers Programme" aimed at developing high-potential non-managerial staff in management and leadership roles. The procurement process was initiated through an open procedure, with an estimated budget of £7,000 (ex VAT). The contract period commenced on 5 February 2018 and will continue until 4 February 2021. The primary delivery location for the training is Richmond, England, specifically at postal code TW9 4DU. The tender period ended on 24 January 2018.

This opportunity is ideal for training and consultancy firms that specialise in educational services, particularly those with experience in leadership development. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as the procurement process is designed to foster competition among diverse suppliers. With the possibility of commissioning additional training programmes over a 36-month period, businesses capable of designing and delivering high-quality training sessions stand to benefit significantly from this contract.

## Notice

TNA is seeking an external provider to design and deliver a training programme for 'Aspiring Managers'. This aim of this training is to equip high potential non-managerial staff with an understanding of the role of management and leadership. It should increase their awareness of the knowledge, skills and behaviours they have and those they would need to develop should they wish to progress to a management or project leadership role (e.g. leading without direct line management of the team). We anticipate that this will take place (primarily) in the form of a short face-to-face development programme for up to 14 people at a time. Accreditation for the Aspiring Managers programme is not required. Our requirement is for the design of the programme and the delivery of the first programme. The total maximum budget for this work is PS7,000 (ex VAT). There is the possibility that we will commission the delivery of up to 8 further programmes over a 36 month period - however, this is not guaranteed.
