Summary of the contracting process

The Skills Development Scotland Co. Limited is conducting a procurement process for the "Foundation Apprenticeships 2020-22" project, positioned in the education industry and covering multiple locations across Scotland. The procurement method adopted is an open procedure, and the submission deadline for interested bids is set for 9th September 2019. The estimated budget allocated for this initiative is £22,400,000, with the aim of achieving 5,000 Foundation Apprenticeship starts during the 2020 academic year. The successful delivery of this program will involve collaborations with colleges, local authorities, schools, training providers, and employers throughout Scotland.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for educational service providers, training organisations, and colleges that specialise in vocational training and apprenticeship programmes. Businesses that can demonstrate strong partnerships and a capacity for delivering varied curricular and practical training across diverse sectors will be well-suited to compete. Additionally, firms with a robust track record in similar projects will likely have an advantage in the evaluation process, particularly those capable of forming consortia to meet the requirements stipulated by the procurement authority.
