Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Skills Development Scotland Co. Limited, focuses on acquiring services under the title "Modern Apprenticeship Services - Learning Provider and Employer 2026-2027". This initiative aligns with the education industry category, with a delivery base in the UKM region, specifically concentrating on regions such as Glasgow. The process has moved through its tender and award stages, concluding with the contracts awarded on 15th June 2026. The open procedure method was utilised, grounded in the framework of the Public Contracts Regulations 2015. Notable deadlines included the tender submission closing on 5th May 2026, and the contract is set to remain active through 31st March 2027. The procurement process supports contracts valued up to £2 million over the apprenticeship's lifetime.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in education, training services, and workforce development. The nature of the contract, split into two separate lots for learning providers and employers, provides substantial entry points for both established providers and SMEs seeking to expand their reach. Successful bidders such as 3t Training Services and Kibble Education and Care Centre highlight opportunities for a broad range of educational and training organisations. Companies with a strong track record in managing substantial education contracts will find this initiative particularly aligned with their expertise.
