AWARDED CONTRACT: TRGA3305: PDDP Project Simulator Workshop

The Project Delivery Development Programme (PDDP) is DfT's flagship HEO/SEO development programme which aims to provide an internal talent pipeline of Project Delivery (PD) professionals to reach Grade 7 Leadership roles and beyond.

We have conducted a review and Training Needs Analysis of PDDP and as a result are seeking ways of taking the programme forward with greater efficiency. From the data gathered as part of the review, we believe that it is necessary to introduce a way of testing the embedding and consolidation of participant knowledge at the end of the programme.

A suggested option for this is a "project simulator" activity. This would take the form of a day long facilitated workshop where participants workshop. This contract is awarded to Prendo Simulations Ltd in order to provide such workshops.

The DfT will make individual bookings for any workshops ordered under this contract, and no minimum volume of bookings is guaranteed. However, it is anticipated that the DfT will make use of this service for a period of three years, and that there will be two PDDP cohorts per year. For this reason, the contract will be let from 30 June 2023 until 31 October 2026, and has a maximum value assigned of £24000.00 excl. VAT.
