The Department for Education awarded a contract to Hardy Fisher for the national engagement and promotion of the Women Leading in Education: Leadership Coaching Pledge.

The contract, valued at £72,800, required the provider to increase coach sign-ups by 500 volunteers nationally and boost participant numbers by 10% per region through regional partnerships and strategic engagement.

The provider was tasked with ensuring that 40% of registered participants in each region were matched with a coach, with at least 5% of participants being returners, part-time or flexible workers seeking leadership roles.

A minimum of 20 matching events were to be held nationally, with at least 70% face-to-face and up to 30% online or by telephone, ensuring a sufficient regional spread.

The provider was also responsible for creating a communications and engagement strategy, utilizing digital communications, road shows, local teach meets, headteacher groups, stakeholder engagement, press releases, national publications, and radio advertising.

Regular reporting to the Department on work progress and the overall quality of Coaching Pledge provision across England was required.
