Classified under management and staff training services, the procurement falls within the services category and is located in the United Kingdom. The procurement process is at the tender stage, with the opportunity announced on 1st July 2026. Key dates include the enquiry period ending on 23rd July 2026, tender submission deadline on 6th August 2026, and the expected award date by 20th August 2026. The open procedure procurement is valued at £331,662.24 (inclusive of VAT) and prioritises both cost and quality criteria in evaluation. Additional contract options may extend contracts for up to two years beyond the initial period ending 30th September 2029. This tender presents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in leadership and organisational development, particularly those with expertise in mindset and behavioural change training. Companies that deliver comprehensive training solutions addressing behavioural dynamics and effective collaboration within teams would be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, due to the cyber security requirements, businesses with a solid foundation in cyber security measures, compliant with DEF Stan 05-138 standards, would find a competitive edge in meeting the Ministry of Defence's requirements. The contract offers not only the initial programme implementation but also potential for extended service provisions – enhancing long-term partnership prospects with a central government authority. ## Notice The Authority has a requirement to access a Mindset-based development program designed to support behavioural change for military and civilian staff within the Defence Medical Academy (DMA). The Authority is seeking a successor program to create and sustain a culture where people understand their own behaviours/ mindset, and take ownership of how these affect others, in order to implement effective changes to these behaviours to work together with shared purpose, with a focus on achieving meaningful outcomes. The Authority requires a formal training package to establish principles and tools that help teams and leaders work more effectively together, creating lasting improvements in leadership and operations. The Authority therefore requires the formal training package to cover the following topics/ themes: - Helping individuals understand their behaviour/ mindset in the workplace, its impacts on others, and how these behaviours contribute to potential conflict. - Tools and Frameworks, including techniques on practical application, to recognise behaviours, and suggest improvements to build effective working relationships and better support others through these behavioural/ mindset changes. - Tools and Frameworks to help support individuals in measuring success, reflection techniques and a particular focus on maintaining the positive changes made Cyber Security: The Authority is dedicated to protecting itself from cyber threats, with DEF Stan 05-138, Issue 4 outlining the cyber security controls that defence Contractors must meet according to the four cyber risk profile levels assigned to contracts. The Authority has determined the level of risk at Level 1 (foundational) RAR-JJTDKK2 as defined in DEF Stan 05-138. In order to do business with the MOD you must have the cyber security controls required as shown above. ### Lot Information Lot 1 Options: The Authority reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to extend the Contract for a period of up to 24 months.
