## Summary

The University of Glasgow is seeking a leadership development partner to co-design, develop and deliver a renewed Strategic Leaders Programme for the University. The requirement is for a services framework focused on leadership development and training (CPV 80500000). Delivery is for the University in Glasgow. The programme is intended to start in early 2027 and is described as a renewal of the existing Strategic Leaders Programme. The successful provider will work with the University to shape the programme as well as deliver it; this is not simply a request for off-the-shelf training. The framework is intended to appoint a single provider, so the opportunity centres on one organisation able to take responsibility for the programme across its full scope.

The University invited offers through a competitive procedure with negotiation. The procurement reached the tender stage; the specified tender return deadline was 5 November 2026 at 12:00. The contract is planned to run for three years, with an option to extend for a further 12 months. No procurement or contract value is stated. The process has two stages, with a minimum of three candidates for the second stage and successive reduction; the University may award on initial bids without further negotiation. The published evaluation gives 20% to leadership development capability and 30% to price. Suppliers must provide two years of accounts showing minimum annual turnover of £60,000, and meet the stated public liability, employers’ liability and professional indemnity insurance thresholds. Variants are not permitted.

This opportunity suits an established leadership development provider able to work in partnership with a university: the requirement combines programme co-design and development with delivery of a renewed strategic leaders programme. Suppliers should be able to demonstrate leadership development capability, as this is an express part of the evaluation. The turnover and insurance thresholds indicate that bidders need the financial standing and cover to take responsibility for a multi-year programme, rather than offering a small standalone training session. The University also asks bidders to commit to community benefits. Relevant commitments may include employment, training and workforce development, equality and diversity activity, opening subcontracting opportunities to smaller and third-sector organisations, developing supply chains and community organisations, educational support, or work experience through schools, colleges and universities. These commitments should be tied to delivery of the contract.
