    Brief

    The Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is seeking a supplier to deliver a 15-month Leadership Development Programme for new and aspiring Directors of Adult Social Services (DASS). This is a market engagement exercise to gather feedback before formal procurement. The programme will support up to 50 participants across two streams: one for aspiring DASSs and one for recently appointed DASSs. Key objectives include building leadership capability and confidence, improving retention rates, driving strategic improvement in councils, and increasing the number of councils rated 'Good' or 'Outstanding' by the Care Quality Commission. Contract Details: The estimated contract value is £909,000 (excluding VAT) or £1,090,800 (including VAT), split broadly equally across two financial years. The programme will commence in January 2027 and conclude in March 2028, with no extension options. Procurement is expected to be conducted through the GCA Learning and Training Services Dynamic Purchasing System (RM6219). Eligibility: Organisations must be registered on the specified DPS to receive an Invitation to Tender. DHSC welcomes bids from Small to Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), and collaborative partnerships. This market engagement does not constitute a commitment to procure and does not create any competitive advantage for participating suppliers.
