Leadership, management and professional skills development Open framework

The Office for Students is establishing an open framework under solicitation PRN2513 to provide leadership, management, professional skills, wellbeing, and coaching services. The framework is divided into four distinct lots: Leadership and Management Development, Professional and Regulation Practice Skills, Wellbeing and Culture, and Facilitation, Coaching and Team/Group Development. Suppliers may apply for any combination of these lots based on their expertise. The procurement is conducted as a competitive flexible procedure, with award decisions based on a weighting of 70% for quality and 30% for price. The opportunity is particularly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises as well as voluntary, community, and social enterprises. The framework has a maximum estimated term of seven years, running from March 1, 2027, to February 28, 2034. This duration is split into two periods: an initial 36-month term (PRN2513) and a subsequent 48-month term (PRN2513b). It is important to note that incumbent suppliers are not automatically re-appointed for the second period and must undergo a refreshed competition. The total estimated value of the framework is 1,273,332 GBP excluding VAT, with performance primarily centered in the Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, and Bristol/Bath areas. Requests to participate must be submitted electronically in English by November 17, 2026.
