What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionSomerset Council is investing in a comprehensive, evidence-based Leadership and Management Development Programme (LMDP) aiming to improve the consistency, capability, quality, and impact of people leadership across the organisation, supporting cultural alignment and improving employee experience.

- Improve team climate, morale, and engagement through better leadership
- Support organisational change and transformation
- Reinforce Somerset Council's values - Work as One Team, Build Belonging, Strive for Excellence

Published award criteria (2)
- Price
- Quality: Including 10% Social Value
- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
