The winning bidder will integrate our BFI Culture Drivers and Line Management Principles with off-the-shelf materials to deliver a four day programme of in-person training for line managers at an externally recognised level and standard (such as ILM Level 4) covering:

• Leadership and operational effectiveness
• Managing people and their wellbeing
• Coaching and delegation skills in the line management relationship
• Managing Teams and performance

The awarded bidder will also be expected to; facilitate and support coordination of three action learning squads per cohort over three out-of-classroom learning meetings but aligned to the in-person training schedule and content, and offer a learner time commitment of five days of learning over a period of four months, which would include four days of in-person / online training and an additional half-day for all pre-course works (overall), and 3 x 1 hour action learning sets.

This is anticipated to be completed over a two year rollout to 45 line managers in three cohorts per year, with a further two, one year optional years to be agreed at renewal point. This totals a four potential years to 2030. Each individual programme will take four months to complete.
