What is being bought

Published requirement description

The final date and time for the submission of bids is Friday 3rd October 2025 at 11:00 am.

DO NOT apply directly to the buyer.

All tender information MUST be submitted through the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal.

Brief Description of Requirement:

Great British Energy (GBE) is a new organisation that is seeking to procure services to support leadership development, establishing an organisational culture, and providing wider organisational development activities and support. The purpose of this project is to bring together the leadership team understanding their strengths and vision and helping to design GBE’s desired culture and values as an organisation.  The GBE Chief Executive Officer (CEO) will champion this work, alongside the Human Resource Director (HRD), with regular check-ins and post-workshop debriefs.

GBE is seeking a strategic partner with demonstrable expertise in leadership and culture development to support its senior leadership team. The successful supplier will deliver bespoke programmes that cultivate visionary leadership, enhance collaboration, and embed values-driven behaviours across the executive function. This includes facilitating executive coaching, designing immersive development experiences, and supporting behavioural change to strengthen organisational culture. Suppliers must demonstrate a proven track record of driving culture transformation and leadership impact within energy or similarly complex, public sector.

We are not asking for a supplier to offer a pre-existing training programme or leadership and management course. Instead, we want to work collaboratively and flexibly with the supplier to support GBE’s Executive Leadership Team (ELT) to determine what priority leadership and culture activities they need to focus on for the next 9 months and support them to do this. We do not expect the supplier to be delivering weekly or regular facilitated interventions but instead have focused engagement throughout the period of the contract, with actions and areas for ELT to focus on in between as they will be the ones owning the vision set by their leadership and the organisational culture.

Please ensure you review all attached information to ensure a full understanding of this requirement. All attachments can be found with the Supplier Attachments tab within the Jaggaer eSourcing Portal.

This contract will be awarded based on the evaluation criteria as set out in the ITQ document.
