Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority is in the planning stage of developing a National Training Framework for Police Scotland, as indicated by the Prior Information Notice dated 24th June 2026. This procurement process, valued at £1,000,000, focuses on education and training services with the aim to enhance various training programmes including management, health and safety, and specialist training across Scotland. Potential suppliers are invited to introductory meetings scheduled via Webex on 29th and 30th July 2026, where timelines and bidding procedures will be discussed. The framework will encompass services at various police premises throughout Scotland and aligns with the regulations of the directive 2014/24/EU (CELEX 32014L0024).

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in training services, particularly those experienced in delivering comprehensive training programmes for public service entities. Businesses with expertise in management training, safety, health, and specialist services would find this framework beneficial for long-term engagements with Police Scotland. The framework’s demand for a broad scope of training services across the region could lead to significant business growth for suppliers equipped to deliver high-quality, wide-ranging training solutions. Engaging with the Scottish Police Authority in this preliminary stage could position businesses favourably for future opportunities as the framework develops.
