What is being bought

The Serious Fraud Office (SFO) is seeking market insight from providers capable of designing and delivering a leadership and management development programme. The requirement is intended to enhance leadership and management capability across the organisation and will be aligned to SFO values, behaviours, and relevant Civil Service leadership frameworks. The programme is expected to support leaders and managers at different levels of the organisation and incorporate a range of learning interventions, delivery methods, and practical development opportunities to maximise engagement and application of learning in the workplace. Through this pre-market engagement exercise, the SFO wishes to better understand the capabilities available within the market, innovative approaches to leadership development, delivery models, and potential solutions that could support the organisation's current and future leadership requirements.

Comparable-procurement analytics

Benchmarked against retained Find a Tender procedures with CPV division 80. The category anchor is Training services (80500000); 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.

Comparison setProceduresReported bids per procedureNamed award suppliersPrice evidence
Market: CPV division 806,6562 median · 47.9 average (3,113 of 6,656 with a bid count)3.2 average (3,415 of 6,656 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

Similar published value (0.5×–2×)5037.5 median · 7 average (10 of 503 with a bid count)1 average (11 of 503 with named award suppliers)1 comparable price pairs

“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.
