Summary of the contracting process

The City of Glasgow College has concluded a procurement process to establish a framework agreement for the provision of specialist training services, including Personal Survival Techniques, Fire Training, First Aid, and Tanker Training. The process utilised an open procedure, allowing for significant supplier participation and was governed by the legal framework outlined in legislation 32014L0024. The procurement, identified by the number CS/CoGC/25/25, is in the contract award stage with key awards made effective on 12th November 2025. This framework does not assign fixed contract values at the time of award, with call-off contracts to be issued based on need, ensuring flexibility in addressing the college's training requirements, predominantly located in the UKM82 region.

This contract framework represents substantial opportunities for growth for businesses in the specialist training services sector, particularly those with expertise in maritime safety and first aid training. The framework encourages participation from small and medium enterprises, as evidenced by the involvement of multiple SMEs like RelyOn Glasgow and You & Sea as active suppliers. Businesses skilled in delivering high-quality training services, with robust management and facilities, as highlighted in the tender's evaluation criteria, are well-placed to benefit from this arrangement. Additionally, the inclusion of community benefits suggests a focus on local employment and training initiatives, further presenting avenues for business expansion and community engagement within the areas served by City of Glasgow College.
