## Summary

Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust procured a Visible Leaders Development Programme for the Trust. This is a leadership education and training service, intended to develop visible leadership within the organisation. The procurement is associated with the Trust in Norwich, Norfolk; the data does not identify a separate delivery site. The stated scope is the programme for NNUH, without further detail on its curriculum, delivery format or participant numbers.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Blend Associates. The Trust used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and runs from 26 August 2026 to 25 August 2027, with a stated maximum extension date of 26 August 2028 and an additional term available. The contract value is £10,000 excluding VAT and £12,000 including VAT. The award is active. The published procurement data does not describe evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements.

For providers of leadership development and organisational training, this award shows that Norfolk and Norwich University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust buys a defined programme focused on visible leadership. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to show relevant expertise designing and delivering leadership development for an NHS organisation, with an approach suited to the Trust’s needs. Blend Associates, the selected supplier, is identified as an SME, demonstrating that a small business was able to undertake this programme. The Trust made the award directly without competition, so this instance does not demonstrate a competitive evaluation or establish particular assessment criteria. The requirement is specific to leadership development; suppliers whose offer is limited to unrelated training would be less well aligned.
