Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council is currently inviting bids for a contract titled "SVQ Training" under the industry category of General Public Services. This procurement is focused on services within the Renfrewshire area, UKM83, aiming to enhance the skillset of Care at Home Services staff by providing Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) training courses at multiple SCQF levels. The process is at the tender stage, with an open procedure for procurement. Interested parties have until 13 March 2026 to submit their electronic bids. The contract value is estimated at £160,000 and the bid opening will occur on the same day, marking the beginning of the award period.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for training providers specialising in vocational education, particularly those with existing accreditation as an SQA Assessment Centre. There is a demand for face-to-face training within the Renfrewshire Council area, with some potential for online delivery. Suppliers with robust financial stability and sufficient insurance cover, including employers' liability and professional indemnity, are well-suited to compete. Additionally, the contract aims to enhance service delivery through community benefits, facilitating growth chances for smaller care organisations affiliated with the Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership. This is an excellent business growth prospect for firms keen on contributing to local workforce development through comprehensive vocational training programmes.
