Framework for the Provision of Executive Coaching

The University of Exeter is seeking bids for provision of the institution's executive coaching service for senior managers and leaders, beginning in September 2022. This is a demand-led service, designed to enhance the performance of senior leaders and managers in their roles. Colleagues may put themselves forward for coaching, with the endorsement of their manager and/or HR Business Partner, or it may be recommended as part of their leadership development. Coachees may be participating in other leadership development activities, which are complemented by coaching, or coaching may be a standalone development initiative. Participation comes from across Academic and Professional Services staff.

As a demand-led service, there aren't a specific number of coaching relationships set up each year. However, based on previous experience, it is expected that the service will support in the region of 20-40 coaching relationships, although this may potentially increase as the institution develops its coaching culture.
