H0852 Executive Development Supplier Framework
Framework Description
H0852 is a multi-supplier framework for executive and senior leadership development across NHS Wales, set up by Health Education and Improvement Wales (HEIW) and procured through NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership. It runs until 24 September 2028 with no extension. Four lots cover coaching and mentoring, facilitation, development centres and specialist speakers, with services available in English and Welsh.
Context & Use Case
NHS Wales organisations call off from H0852 to build leadership capability, manage talent and plan succession. Boards and senior teams use it to commission executive coaching, facilitated workshops, development centre design and observation, and expert speakers for events or programmes. It serves current executives, senior leaders and aspiring leaders across the Welsh health system.
Scope of Services
Lot 1: Executive coaching and mentoring Lot 2: Facilitation services Lot 3: Executive development centre design and observation Lot 4: Specialist speakers and advisors Delivery in English and Welsh
Lots
Yes: Lot 1 - Executive Coaching and Mentoring; Lot 2 - Facilitation Services; Lot 3 - Executive Development Centre Design and Observation; Lot 4 - Specialist Speakers and Advisors
Who Can Apply
It suits accredited coaches, facilitators, assessment specialists and expert speakers with senior healthcare experience; Welsh language capability is an advantage. The framework was awarded through tender ITT_124281 on eTender Wales and applications are now closed, so new suppliers cannot join before it is re-tendered, likely near 24 September 2028.
Buyer Benefits
NHS Wales bodies get a pre-assessed panel of development professionals, so they can commission coaching or a development centre without a fresh procurement. Bilingual delivery helps them meet Welsh language duties, and splitting the work into four lots means they can pick a specialist for each need rather than one generalist provider.
Next Steps
Appointed suppliers should keep HEIW informed of their capacity and Welsh language coaches, and respond quickly to call-off requests. Others should study the four lots on the Find a Tender notice and build healthcare leadership case studies, professional coaching accreditations and bilingual delivery capability, ready for the re-tender before 24 September 2028.
