Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government has recently completed a public procurement process aimed at providing development training for women involved in Scottish agriculture. This initiative, classified under the education and training services category, was part of an open procedure tender which had its award on 23 July 2021. The project involved the delivery of ten training courses over two years, with a total contract value of £140,400. Although aimed at enhancing skills and confidence in a specific demographic, the project was ultimately cancelled despite attracting interest from multiple bidders.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for training providers with expertise in personal development, particularly those focused on the agricultural sector and its unique challenges. Businesses that specialise in education and training services, especially those catering to rural communities and women's empowerment, would find this contract well-suited to their capabilities. Moreover, companies with a strong understanding of community needs and the ability to offer flexible training solutions are positionally advantageous to compete for similar contracts in the future.

Notice Title

Development training for women living or working in Scottish agriculture

Notice Description

Scottish Government wishes to procure a high quality training service targeted to the personal development of women living or working in Scottish agriculture, specifically addressing, but not restricted to: - building their confidence and self-esteem - discovering the true value of their skills, strengths and experiences - creating lasting connections and support networks - empowering them to take up new roles and opportunities

Lot Information

Lot 1

The client wishes to procure training that is flexible, dynamic and transformative for attendees. This is personal development training for a very specific demographic. The skills taught will be those consistent with standard models of personal development training, however they must be applied to the specific context of women living or working in Scottish agriculture and the particular issues that these women often face e.g.: succession issues; the complexities of family farming businesses; lack of representation in leadership roles; highly gendered division of labour etc. The Service Provider will therefore be required to demonstrate expertise in personal development training as well as knowledge or experience of agricultural and rural communities. Scottish Governmentis looking to the Service Provider to deliver ten courses across a two year period. Six of these courses will take place entirely virtually (via online delivery) and Four will take place in person, (Covid-19 restrictions permitting). This is to ensure that women in rural areas who experience poor connectivity problems, need not be excluded from participating in the training. It is required that the course content and facilitator input will remain largely the same for both delivery models. i.e. an online delivery model that is largely self-taught, would not be acceptable. Additional information: Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any of the situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland)Regulations 2015.

Options: Scottish Government reserve the option to extend the contract for an additional period of 12 months.
