This procurement targeted professionals involved in Domestic Homicide and Suicide Reviews across Scotland, aiming to enhance their skills and knowledge through specialised training modules. The initiative was led by the Scottish Government, a central purchasing body located at 5 Atlantic Quay, Glasgow. The procurement followed an open procedure and has progressed through planning, tender, and award stages, with a notable completion date on 10th March 2026. Key activities will be conducted in the region UKM, and the outline of requirements emphasizes improvement of response performance related to domestic homicide and suicide reviews.
