## Summary

The procurement process for the "House of Lords Returners Development Programme" has been completed by the Corporate Officer of the House of Lords, located in London, United Kingdom. This contract falls under the services industry, specifically focusing on coaching and career guidance services. Initiated as a tender, this procurement process was conducted via a limited method, reflecting a below-threshold and limited competition approach. The programme aims to offer structured support and training for career returners, particularly those who have been away from professional roles due to caregiving responsibilities. The contract's duration spans from 19th May 2025 to 20th October 2025, with an award value of £34,560 GBP (net).

This tender presents notable opportunities for businesses specialising in career guidance and support services to engage with a central government authority. The programme's focus on supporting mid-career professionals offers SMEs, notably those who may excel in tailored coaching solutions, a chance to demonstrate their expertise and gain visibility in public sector contracts. As such, organisations with experience in career transition and workforce re-entry programmes are particularly well-suited to leverage such opportunities, supporting business growth while contributing to societal benefits such as workforce reintegration.

## Notice

The Authority sought to procure a service provider to develop and deliver a pilot Returners Development Programme. For the pilot, this programme would be in the form of a return-to-work support programme to provide eight individuals (who have been working at mid-career level and above who have been out of work for over 1 year due to caring responsibilities) structured support, guidance and training without creating new roles or changing existing roles.
