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.

    "description": "As this procurement has established a Framework Agreement rather than a single-supplier contract. The framework allows for call-off contracts to be placed on a ranked basis, depending on capacity, availability, and specific requirements at the time of need. Accordingly, no fixed contract value can be assigned per lot at the point of framework award. This position was made clear within the Invitation to Tender, specifically: Section 1.1.6 - outlining that call-offs will be made by direct award on a ranked basis; and Sections 1.1.1.1.7, 2.1.3.1.2 and 2.1.3.1.3 - confirming that appointment to the framework does not guarantee any volume or value of work, and that all indicative figures were provided for evaluation purposes only. The estimated contract value stated in this notice is based on historic spend and anticipated future requirements for Personal Survival Techniques training. It is provided for transparency and reporting purposes only and does not represent a guaranteed level of expenditure or commitment by City of Glasgow College. Actual call-off values will vary depending on operational needs throughout the duration of the framework. (SC Ref:815604)",

Bidders must confirm within their response to the relevant question within the 'Qualification envelope' that as a minimum, 2 out of the 3 ratios can be met and what the value of each ratio is. The 3 ratios to be evaluated are: Profitability - this is taken as profit after tax but before dividends and minority interests. If a company makes a profit then it is a pass for this ratio; Liquidity - this is calculated as current assets less stock and work in progress, divided by current liabilities. If the answer is greater than or equal to 'one' then it is a pass for this ratio; Gearing - this is calculated as the total external secured borrowing (short term and long term) divided by shareholder funds expressed as a percentage. If the answer is less than or equal to 100% it is considered a pass for this ratio. Where 2 out of the 3 ratios cannot be met, the College may take the undernoted into consideration when assessing financial viability and the risk to the College, providing that the Bidder can supply evidence to substantiate any of the mitigating criteria. This list is not exhaustive and other criteria may be considered where proposed by a bidder as mitigating factors: Would the bidder have passed the checks if prior year accounts had been used? Were any of the poor appraisal outcomes 'marginal'? Does the bidder operate in a market which, traditionally, requires lower liquidity or higher debt finance? Does the bidder have sufficient reserves to sustain losses for a number of years? Does the bidder have a healthy cash-flow? Is the bidder profitable enough to finance the interest on its debt? Is most of the bidder's debt owed to group companies? Is the bidder's debt due to be repaid over a number of years, and affordable? Have the bidder's results been adversely affected by 'one off costs' and / or 'one off accounting treatments'? Do the bidder's auditors (where applicable) consider it to be a 'going concern'? Will the bidder provide a Parent Company Guarantee? Is the bidder the single supplier/source of the Goods/Works/Services in the marketplace? The College will obtain an Equifax Report or similar financial verification systems to validate the information provided. Please refer to Part 4 B Bidders must confirm they can provide the following supporting evidence prior to award: Employer's (Compulsory) Liability Insurance = 5,000,000 GBP Public Liability Insurance = 10,000,000 GBP"
