What is being bought

The University of Exeter is looking to procure suppliers for delivery of Aspiring Managers, People Management, Leadership Difference and Leadership Academy services. We have the opportunity to consider this as a single cohesive career-wide development pathway with multiple components, rather than in isolation of each other. This will allow us to keep our Skills Development Programmes largely the same, using a Modular based approach to enable leaders to select components relevant to their needs. Navigation through these modular opportunities will be made easier via ‘Suggested Development Pathways’ for Key Roles such as Senior Academic Leaders (SALs) and Heads of Department (HoDs). As a cohesive and easily navigable programme it can be integrated with Performance and Development Reviews and Promotions processes for personal and professional action planning. The procurement will take the form of a single tender with with multiple lots to allow suppliers to bid for one or multiple lots.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Training programme services (80521000); this is a deliberately broad market comparator. The comparison is shown at several levels rather than pretending one company or region is always the best benchmark.

“Reported bids” is an official aggregate, sometimes reported per lot; it is the closest available competition measure. “Named award suppliers” are winners, not all applicants.

Price-outcome signal

Not enough comparable procedures currently publish both a GBP tender value and a usable lowest-valid-bid value to calculate a responsible price-reduction benchmark. Tenderline deliberately does not infer a saving from named award suppliers or from missing award values.
