Description
In February 2023, the NFCC MLP Project Board issued a survey across the sector to gather information, views and opinions to help shape a national middle leadership programme. The survey was open to all fire and rescue services and partners.
Summary key findings
• There are consistent challenges and issues facing middle leaders, with the most common being:
i. Leadership skills gaps
ii. Behavioural / cultural challenges
• A blended* approach towards a development programme is favoured, with national guidance provided for either a regional or service led delivery model for the interactive / face to face elements, supported by online learning modules
• An award or accreditation providing a route to a full qualification would add gravitas and incentive to the programme, along with professionalising the sector
• The largest audience for MLP will be operational and non-operational colleagues who are new and aspiring middle leaders, but the programme will also be available to all existing middle leaders.
* Combination of delivery methods, such as online, face to face, action learning and interactive online sessions via Teams.
The tender will be broken down into three (3) lots, suppliers may bid for one, two or all three.
Suppliers must ensure that they are fully familiar with the nature and extent of the obligations required of this Service. They must realise and be aware that their proposed offer of Service is contractually binding and that the resulting Contract Agreement will be strictly supervised and closely monitored against their submitted offer (and to any subsequent mutually agreed amendments) and shall be enforced in accordance with the Contract provisions.
It is the responsibility of the Supplier to obtain for itself, at its own expense, all information necessary for the preparation of its Tender.
The proposals should address how the Supplier would manage each element of the requirement and the proposed pricing models submitted should clearly explain how each would be priced.
