Published requirement description

NIE Networks has recognised the need to, and has made a commitment to positively

transform its safety culture.

Some of the key points of these interventions are as follows:

  • The Safety Culture Assessment, associated feedback and communication to the wider organisation were all carried out using methodologies derived from the Integral Model as proposed originally by American philosopher Ken Wilber. As an organisation we have become familiar with the language around this, hence the strong requirement that potential suppliers would also have experience in safety culture transformation using this approach.
  • The hiring and training of NIE Networks coaches should enable NIE Networks to become self sufficient, to a degree, in this space over the longer term. It is envisaged that these coaches will help to deliver significant elements of the plan in due course.
  • It is recognised by the business that a transformation in safety culture is required, however it has also been recognised that significant other delivery pressures already exist. Therefore any proposed delivery plan should be both transformational and sustainable.
  • The tender opportunity has been divided into two lots; Lot 1 will be the larger lot which will primarily focus on the the setup of the teams required to make a transformation, while Lot 2 will be focused on the creation and delivery of the two elements of leadership training identified.

Potential suppliers had the opportunity to submit bids for one or both lots.

Lot #1Safety Culture Transformation PartnerAwarded

Lot 1 will primarily focus on the the setup of the teams required to make a transformation. A team coaches are to be appointed to aid delivery of all of the subsequent elements of work. The coaches will receive training and will ultimately allow NIE Networks to reduce our external commitment in the medium to long term.

The successful supplier will assist with the process of identifying and recruiting new coaches, and then take responsibility for training and developing this team to work as part of the delivery team. The staff identified should be people with a passion for people, safety and the future of NIE Networks. As part of the training and development package offered, coaches should have the option of attaining professionally recognised coaching qualifications.

Business Leadership Team is to be established to provide and ensure ongoing focus, support and direction in bringing the aligned commitment statement and associated values to life for the whole company and in delivering the associated elements of this programme.

The successful supplier will setup, launch and support a Business Leadership Team consisting of, as a minimum, our Executive Directors. This team should meet monthly and should provide appropriate leadership to enable the safety culture transformation generally, and specifically to the proposed Senior Management and Local Leadership Teams, as well as the Adaptive Challenge teams.

Senior Manager Leadership Teams are to be established to provide and ensure ongoing focus, support and direction in bringing the aligned commitment statement and associated values to life within each of our five Directorates and in delivering the associated elements of this programme.

Adaptive Leadership Teams are to be established to initially review the three negative underlying conditions highlighted in the integral assessment.

Local Leadership Teams are to be established to provide an effective forum for engaging staff to identify and address local technical and adaptive challenges.

Introductory training session to be prepared, and delivered to all employees.
