Project Leadership Programme

Reference Number : RM6214

IPA is formally undertaking the re-procurement of the Project Leadership Programme, a development programme run for project leaders in government.

Main Site : UK.

Government projects are complex and delivered under intense political and public scrutiny, often in volatile and uncertain contexts. They can be of significant scale and uniqueness. Of critical importance to the IPA is to build project delivery capability through enhancing project leadership.

The IPA has established two key project leadership development programmes, one of which is the Project Leadership Programme (PLP).

PLP was launched in 2015. It is aimed at leaders who hold key delivery roles in government projects.

The programme has enrolled since inception over 1 000 leaders from across 30 different government departments and currently delivers up to 6 cohorts a year of between 30-50 participants per cohort.

The current PLP is based on three key leadership competencies: leadership of self, commercial leadership and technical project leadership. Its content combines expert academic theory with practical hands-on learning. Its format currently includes four residential modules, elective classes, coaching and online tools such as bespoke 360 feedback and a participant information portal.

Candidates will be assessed in accordance with section 5 of the 2015 Public Contract Regulations (implementing the Directive) on the basis of information provided in response to the bid pack.

The value provided in section II.1.5) is only an estimate.

Anyone can submit a bid in response to this published contract notice.

The duration of the contract will be a maximum of 5 (five) years, with the first term being 3 (three) years, with a further possible extension of 2 (two) 1 (one)-year periods.
