DMHR are seeking to appoint an experienced supplier to deliver expert Leadership Development Coaching for target groups of staff to ensure their development as leaders and managers is continually supported.

Total Quantity or Scope

While the principal contracting entity is DMHR, it is envisioned that services will be provided across the DML Group of companies and primarily to target groups of staff in CalMac Ferries Limited, (CFL). CFL is the operator of the Clyde & Hebrides Ferry Service, a multi-award-winning ferry & port operator and ship management specialist. CFL provides essential lifeline services and logistical support to island and remote communities on the West Cost of Scotland.

As such, Leadership Development is provided for target groups of staff to ensure their development as leaders and managers is continually supported. Whilst DMHR delivers internal coaching opportunities, it has been identified that the provision of expert coaching services from an external service provider with a proven track record of delivery is required. This will help to ensure that top talent, emerging talent and key post holders are appropriately equipped to manage the demands and challenges of their roles, particularly in an environment of change and disruption.
