This public procurement record has 1 release in its history.

Summary of the contracting process

The Social Security Scotland organisation, operating at a national level, has successfully completed its procurement process titled "Cloud Training Platform Licence". This contract falls under the services category, specifically targeting the general public services industry. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, and the contract was awarded on the 5th of June 2025. The process took place in Dundee, Scotland (UKM region), and it played a significant role in equipping Social Security Scotland's team with essential cloud technology skills and knowledge through the provision of Cloud Training Platform Licences.

This tender creates opportunities for businesses involved in cloud technology and training services to engage with high-profile governmental projects. Large enterprises, such as the contract-winning company Computacenter, which partnered with the software provider Pluralsight, are well-suited to compete in this space due to their capacity to deliver comprehensive and up-to-date cloud training solutions. Potential subcontracting possibilities, though minimal, may also appeal to companies seeking to provide niche technological expertise within the broader cloud training domain. Taking part in such contracts underlines a significant growth trajectory for businesses looking to strengthen their portfolio by aligning with governmental digital skill enhancement initiatives.
