## Summary

The University of Lancaster is initiating a tender for the "Lancaster University Facilitation and Coaching Services Framework." This procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with the university seeking to understand the market for facilitation and coaching services better. The procurement falls under the services category, specifically staff development and training services (CPV 79633000 and CPV 80511000). The process includes a pre-market engagement questionnaire due by 7th April 2025, followed by a planned publication of the tender notice on 1st May 2025. Located in Lancaster, UK, the services are intended to support various staff development programmes, with the framework agreement expected to commence on 1st August 2025 and potentially extend until 31st July 2030.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in facilitation and coaching services to establish a framework agreement with a prestigious institution like the University of Lancaster. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, with the framework divided into lots to facilitate diverse expertise. Successful bidders will contribute to enhancing the university’s leadership and personal development programmes, creating sustained business growth and partnership opportunities over several years. This engagement is ideal for businesses with experience in educational and staff development services, particularly those who can offer innovative and effective facilitation and coaching solutions.

## Notice

Lancaster University is currently reviewing their leadership and personal development provision and will shortly be going out to tender to create a framework of Lot 1 Facilitators and Lot 2 Coaching Services to deliver and support a number of staff development programmes.
