    Brief

    This is a direct award opportunity for CIPFA LEAD, a specialized leadership development programme designed specifically for senior finance professionals in Welsh local authorities, including Section 151 officers. The programme combines CIPFA's expertise as the professional body for UK public finance with a curriculum tailored to the statutory responsibilities and governance challenges faced by finance leaders in local government. The 2025-26 Wales cohort delivered exceptional results, achieving a 4.8 out of 5 satisfaction score with 100% of participants recommending the programme to peers. The programme features flexible delivery mixing virtual and in-person modules, designed to minimize time away from participant organizations while providing practical application to real workplace challenges. Key benefits include building leadership confidence, creating a peer network across the Welsh finance sector, and supporting workforce succession planning for Section 151 officers. Continuation with CIPFA for 2026-27 ensures consistent leadership language and competency frameworks across Welsh local government, builds on the established alumni network, and avoids the costs and delays of re-procurement with an alternative provider. CIPFA is the sole supplier capable of delivering this programme due to its sector-specific expertise, established relationships with Welsh authorities, and proven track record of delivering high-quality outcomes.
