Published requirement description

The aim is to establish a framework agreement, for a period of up to four years, as a cost and time effective solution for the provision of qualified and experienced professionals, who understand the context of the challenges facing senior leadership levels, to support the development of senior leaders operating within the Welsh public services.

Welsh and English are treated equally in public services across Wales. There is a requirement for bidders of the framework to recognise this and respond to an individual’s language of choice, Welsh or English, and is therefore seeking to appoint to the Framework Agreement coaches and facilitators who can deliver interventions in Welsh and/or English. The framework will be divided into four lots to accommodate this.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 30 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 3 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Senior Leadership Coaching and Facilitation Services Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 80 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
