Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Sports Council, trading as sportscotland, has issued a tender for establishing a Learning and Development Framework. This procurement process, under the industry category of services, invites suitably qualified suppliers to provide training and learning opportunities across multiple areas, including business success in sport, communication skills, personal effectiveness, meeting community needs, leadership development, and inclusion. Key dates include the tender submission deadline on 22nd April 2025, amended to accommodate the Easter break, with the commencement of the contract anticipated in June 2025. The Framework will last for two years, with options for two 12-month extensions, and the location for these services is across Scotland.
