II.1.4) Short description
The Authority has a requirement to access a Mindset-based development program designed to support behavioural change for military and civilian staff within the Defence Medical Academy (DMA).
The Authority is seeking a successor program to create and sustain a culture where people understand their own behaviours/ mindset, and take ownership of how these affect others, in order to implement effective changes to these behaviours to work together with shared purpose, with a focus on achieving meaningful outcomes.
The Authority requires a formal training package to establish principles and tools that help teams and leaders work more effectively together, creating lasting improvements in leadership and operations. The Authority therefore requires the formal training package to cover the following topics/ themes:
– Helping individuals understand their behaviour/ mindset in the workplace, its impacts on others, and how these behaviours contribute to potential conflict.
– Tools and Frameworks, including techniques on practical application, to recognise behaviours, and suggest improvements to build effective working relationships and better support others through these behavioural/ mindset changes.
– Tools and Frameworks to help support individuals in measuring success, reflection techniques and a particular focus on maintaining the positive changes made
Cyber Security: The Authority is dedicated to protecting itself from cyber threats, with DEF Stan 05-138, Issue 4 outlining the cyber security controls that defence Contractors must meet according to the four cyber risk profile levels assigned to contracts.
The Authority has determined the level of risk at Level 1 (foundational) RAR-JJTDKK2 as defined in DEF Stan 05-138. In order to do business with the MOD you must have the cyber security controls required as shown above.
