The anticipated service could include programme design, facilitation and delivery for all employees, with an emphasis on engaging staff and developing organisational values. The procurement is for human resources management consultancy and specialist staff training services, including training programme services and facilities. Delivery is intended across the United Kingdom. Pool Re is using this planning exercise to understand possible delivery models, market capability, innovation, supplier appetite, pricing approaches and risks before deciding its future procurement strategy. This is a preliminary market engagement at the planning stage, ahead of any formal procurement or invitation to tender. Pool Re expects to use the feedback to shape its procurement strategy. The market-sounding brief and questionnaire were issued on 6 August 2026; clarification questions were expected by 14 August 2026, with responses issued on 21 August 2026. Questionnaire responses were expected by 1 September 2026 at 14:00, followed by a supplier discussion session on a date to be confirmed. Pool Re has recorded an estimated value of £1 including gross value, in GBP. The planned contract period is 4 January 2027 to 31 December 2030, with one lot. The exercise will suit organisations experienced in organisational development, values-based culture programmes, employee engagement, facilitation and staff training. Relevant providers are likely to be able to design an engaging programme for an entire workforce and adapt delivery to an established organisational values framework. Experience in human resources consultancy, training programme design, specialist training and the provision or management of training facilities would be relevant. Suppliers should be prepared to explain their delivery models, innovative approaches, pricing structures, capacity and appetite for the work, as well as identify delivery risks and practical considerations. This stage is intended for market feedback and preparation; it is not a qualification process or a contract opportunity to bid for now. ## Notice Pool Re is considering the potential procurement of external provider(s) to design and deliver a values-based development programme aligned to Pool Re's organisational values framework, "BE EPIC". This Market Sounding exercise is intended to help Pool Re understand current market capability, delivery models, pricing structures, innovation, supplier appetite and any key risks or considerations which may inform a future procurement strategy.
