Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government, based in Edinburgh, concluded a procurement process for the "Provision of Education Workforce Modelling and Analysis." Under the open procedure method, the tender was geared towards analysing the impact of future population projections on educational workforce costs, pupil-teacher ratios, and related factors over the next decade, influencing local and national policy planning. This procurement, completed on 16th October 2023, was part of the Education sector (CPV codes: 73110000 and 73100000) and covered services within the UKM region. The contract, valued at £24,926.25, was awarded to WPI Economics, a London-based SME.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in data analysis, educational consultancy, and strategic planning, particularly those with expertise in modelling and analysing workforce dynamics. SMEs like WPI Economics have demonstrated successful bidding potential, suggesting that smaller entities with specialised skills and knowledge in public services and education can effectively compete. As such initiatives require complex analysis and projection, expert consultancies in workforce management and policy advisory are well-suited to leverage this and similar opportunities for growth.
