## Summary

The procurement process for the "Project Delivery Leadership Programmes MPLA & OMP" was managed by the Department of Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA). The process aims to deliver leadership training services across the UK, specifically targeting project leadership within Government major change programmes. The tender falls under the education and training services category, with a primary location being DEFRA in London. This procurement utilised a limited method without prior publication and was completed with the signed contract dated 20 January 2026. The awarded contract, valued at £1,065,600, was granted to Said Business School and covered through a framework agreement with Crown Commercial Service.

This tender presents considerable business growth opportunities for enterprises specialising in educational and training services, particularly those focusing on leadership development for senior project leaders. It is well-suited to established training providers with experience in handling large-scale Government projects, given the requirement for developing leadership capabilities within high-impact change initiatives. Businesses adept at managing compliance within a framework and those with a track record of repetitive services aligned with governmental standards are strategically positioned to benefit from such contracts. The structured call-off from a pre-existing framework underscores the importance of being an accredited supplier within Government frameworks for potential participants.

## Notice

There is the need to build project leadership capability across Government and those that work within major change programmes. Through the Infrastructure and Projects Authority (Cabinet Office), Crown Commercial Service have procured a leadership training course (Major Projects Leadership Academy) for senior project leaders. For some roles, attendance on this course is mandatory to undertake the role within Government. For others, it is a recommended course to undertake and is a recognised part of DEFRA's, and wider government's, SCS talent strategy. It also forms an essential part of the process to become government accredited for Project Delivery.
