Real World Group is proud to announce that we have been awarded a place on Manchester City Council’s Learning and Development Flexible Purchasing System, specifically for Lot 1 – Soft Skills and Leadership & Management Development. Being recognised as a trusted partner in this space is a significant milestone for us, and one that reflects our shared commitment to developing people, strengthening leadership capability, and creating workplaces where individuals and teams can truly thrive.

This award means a great deal to us. Manchester City Council is one of the largest local authorities in the UK, with more than 7,000 staff working across five directorates. Their ambition for a forward-thinking, inclusive, and highly skilled workforce sits at the heart of the ‘Our Manchester Strategy 2025–35’, an inspiring vision that will help shape the future of the city and the services it provides to residents, communities, and businesses.

As a trusted supplier already supporting the Council, we are delighted to continue this partnership. Our evidence-based approach to leadership and management development, along with our experience working across local government and wider sectors, positions us to provide effective, practical, and engaging development opportunities. We look forward to contributing towards a learning culture that empowers staff, strengthens  leadership capability, and supports the Council’s mission to deliver exceptional public services.

Mark Powell, Head of Consulting said; “Our ongoing collaboration with Manchester City Council is a testament to the value of meaningful partnership, shared expertise, and commitment to positive change. We are excited about the journey ahead and the opportunities to support managers and teams across the organisation. We look forward to continuing our work with Manchester City Council helping to create the right conditions where people thrive.”
