The organisation is now re-tendering the contract to ensure WFD has the right Partner and MDP that best suits our current and future needs and provides good value for money for the next 4 years. We are therefore looking to receive proposals for MDPs that meet the requirement detailed in this document and support the ongoing development of our management skills across our international workforce. The MDP is a crucial product in supporting the delivery of the above objective, and we are committed to the continued development of our managers. We believe 'great managers' are fundamental to a positive employment experience and critical for staff to be retained and thrive at WFD. We believe that a consistently high standard of experience of line management by our teams will further improve WFD's reputation as an employer and allow us to manage a significant portion of our people and culture based risk. We are seeking to procure an L&D partner to design and deliver a module based management development training programme to our managers. Due to our international workforce, the programme will need to be delivered virtually by a live facilititator. Online materials and learning platforms may also be used to support the delivery of the programme. We would also welcome proposals that offer a 2 tier approach of (1) a more comphrensive programme for new/less experienced managers, and (2) a refresher programme for more experienced managers, introducing the minimum standards expected when managing people at WFD. Programme design and coordination will be finalised throughout October - December 2024, with the first cohort kicking off in January 2024. The programme will then run on a rolling basis until December 2028. Please visit the Invitation to Tender document for further details on how to submit a bid.
