Description

Essex County Council (ECC) has undergone significant transformations in recent years, in line with our ambition to make significant improvements to the way that services are delivered and in responding to dramatic changes to public policy, Brexit and the COVID-19 crisis. Over the next five years the nature and pace of change is likely to accelerate even further and the organisation needs to be in the best possible position to thrive, in what we know will continue to be challenging circumstances.

In order to participate or register interest in advertised bid opportunities for Essex County Council you will need to register your organisation on the Proactis Supplier Network which can be reached on the link below;
https://supplierlive.proactisp2p.com/Account/Login .


In order to meet these challenges ECC is currently working on a new 4 year Corporate Strategy and the People Plan which underpins it. We need to continue to develop the culture of the organisation in line with our People Plan and to consider the way we behave and operate with all of our internal and external stakeholders.

We would like to work with a coaching provider who can support our Senior Leaders through this period of culture change, uncertainty and complex challenge.

To support our ambition we also need to continue our journey to become an exemplary Learning Organisation where coaching is an everyday activity. We are currently developing a new coaching and mentoring strategy, which will include our approach to both internal and external coaching & mentoring provision.

We are currently looking for an external coaching organisation with a substantial pool of qualified coaches to provide coaching to Senior Leaders (in particular Directors and Heads of Service) across the organisation, through individual executive coaching and team coaching, as required.
