Summary of the contracting process

The Dumfries and Galloway Council is initiating an Invitation to Tender (ITT) for a Training Provision Framework. This procurement process, categorized under 'services' in the education and training industry, involves staff training services with a total value of £1,870,000. The ITT seeks offers from organisations to offer training in various areas, including Corporate Training, IT Skills, First Aid, Technical, Health & Safety, and Wellbeing, within the Dumfries and Galloway region (UKM92). As of July 2025, the tender is in the active stage with bidding set to conclude on 15 August 2025. The open procedure procurement method will utilise electronic submissions via the Public Tenders Scotland portal.

This tender presents a substantial business growth opportunity, especially for organisations specialising in training services. Businesses with expertise in delivering comprehensive training programmes across multiple disciplines, such as IT skills, first aid, and technical training, would find this project particularly appealing. Given the scope and variety of lots available, including the option for a 36-month extension, there is potential for long-term collaboration with the council. Quality and price are weighted at 60% and 40% respectively, indicating a preference for high-quality services that provide value for money. The framework agreement allows for up to 84 participants, suggesting substantial room for multiple vendors to engage and grow within this procurement landscape.
