Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Government appointed a supplier to design and develop digital learning resources for managers, supporting the development of talent management capability across the organisation. The service covers the creation of three short digital learning modules, each expected to last approximately 10 minutes. The learning is intended to address what talent management is, how managers can hold career conversations, talent and succession planning, and workforce planning at team level. The work is a training service and is focused on learning content and resources for Scottish Government managers. The appointed supplier is Get Up to Speed Ltd. The requirement concerns digital learning development and design rather than the delivery of general training or a broader talent management consultancy service.

This procurement has been awarded following a tender process, with Get Up to Speed Ltd selected as the supplier. The award value is £20,000. The contract was signed on 4 January 2024 and is recorded as active. The tender was for services, classified under CPV 80500000 for training services. The requirement was evaluated through a competitive process that received one bid. The expected output is three short modules, with the detailed learning content to be defined around the stated talent management themes. The contracting authority is the Scottish Government. The award record does not identify separate lots or a separate award date.

This procurement demonstrates a defined Scottish Government demand for compact, digitally delivered learning aimed at managers and focused on practical talent management. Suppliers best placed for comparable work would combine instructional design and digital learning development with the ability to turn broad organisational themes into clear, engaging modules of around 10 minutes. Relevant capability includes structuring learning on career conversations, talent and succession planning, workforce planning and the fundamentals of talent management. A credible competitor would also understand manager-facing professional development and be able to shape content where the detailed learning requirements are developed during the work. The opportunity suits a focused digital learning studio, training-content specialist or consultancy with strong e-learning design and development experience.
