Invest NI required an experienced contractor/s for the design, delivery and management of the Leadership Team Programme, an accelerated business development programme for senior teams within small and medium sized enterprises in Northern Ireland. Lot 1 — Educational Content delivered for up to 9 SME client companies of Invest NI per year, over the 4 years of the contract. The additional works required have become necessary to meet unforeseen demand for places on the programme from local companies that were not identified in the initial procurement. This demand has been generated as a result of both global and local government research linking leadership/entrepreneurship to greater productivity, causing organisations to view the programme as a key enabler of business growth. Demand has increased from 9 companies wanting to partake in Year 1 to 18 in year 3. The intake was increased each year, but was not sufficient to meet the demand.
