Summary of the contracting process

Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland) procured education and training services for delivery of the Incredible Years Parenting Programme, including programme training and associated materials. The work is intended to support delivery of Incredible Years training in Scotland. The programme is coordinated by The Incredible Years Inc., based in Seattle, and uses its proprietary training materials. PSD Scotland is the buying organisation and central purchasing body, operating from Edinburgh. The requirement concerns specialist parenting-programme training rather than general education provision, and is relevant to organisations that deliver structured parenting interventions, professional development or related training services in Scotland.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, relying on exclusive intellectual property rights under Regulation 33(b)(iii) of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. The Incredible Years Inc. was selected, with one bid recorded, submitted electronically by a non-EU supplier. The award date is 30 June 2026 and the contract was signed on that date. It is anticipated to start in July 2026 and run for 45 months. The estimated maximum contract value is £225,601 excluding VAT. Evaluation was split equally between technical quality and commercial cost. The single lot is recorded as cancelled, although active awards and contracts are also recorded for it.

This procurement indicates demand for a specialist, proprietary parenting intervention whose training can only be delivered by certified Incredible Years Mentors and Trainers using Incredible Years materials. Suppliers seeking comparable work would therefore need recognised certification, access to the authorised programme materials and a demonstrable network or capacity of suitably qualified trainers. Credibility would also depend on delivering structured training to professional or service-provider audiences, maintaining programme fidelity and supporting implementation across Scotland. The award went to a large overseas specialist and attracted one bid, showing that the buyer accepted an international delivery model. Organisations with equivalent programme rights, certified personnel and the operational capacity to provide training and materials at this scale would be best placed for any future requirement from PSD Scotland.
