The service will be designed and delivered for leaders and managers at different levels across the organisation, strengthening leadership and management capability and supporting the application of learning in the workplace. It is expected to align with SFO values, behaviours and relevant Civil Service leadership frameworks. The programme may include a range of learning interventions, delivery methods and practical development opportunities to maximise engagement and workplace application. This is a training services requirement, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The procurement is arranged as one lot and is intended for the SFO as a central government public authority. This procurement is at the planning stage and is currently a pre-market engagement exercise rather than an invitation to tender. The SFO plans to speak with identified suppliers by telephone, email or Teams to understand market capability, influence its requirements and explore potential delivery models and solutions. The engagement is scheduled to conclude by 30 September 2026. The anticipated contract period is 1 October 2026 to 1 October 2028, with renewal provision extending the maximum period to 1 October 2029. The estimated value is £250,000 excluding VAT and £300,000 including VAT. The procurement is above the relevant threshold and comprises one planned lot. The work will suit providers specialising in leadership development, management training, executive education or organisational capability programmes, particularly those able to work with public sector or Civil Service leadership environments. Suppliers should be prepared to design a programme for multiple leadership and management levels, align content with organisational values and behaviours, and connect delivery to recognised Civil Service leadership frameworks. Strong candidates are likely to offer varied learning interventions, flexible delivery methods and practical development opportunities that encourage participation and transfer learning into day-to-day work. The SFO is specifically seeking market insight on available capabilities, innovative approaches, delivery models and solutions supporting both current and future leadership requirements. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises are identified as suitable. ## Notice The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is seeking market insight from providers capable of designing and delivering a leadership and management development programme. The requirement is intended to enhance leadership and management capability across the organisation and will be aligned to SFO values, behaviours, and relevant Civil Service leadership frameworks. The programme is expected to support leaders and managers at different levels of the organisation and incorporate a range of learning interventions, delivery methods, and practical development opportunities to maximise engagement and application of learning in the workplace.
