Scheduled for April 26th, the workshop aims to facilitate strategic discussions and deepen relationships among the recently restructured Executive Team. This procurement was conducted under a limited procedure due to a need for trusted providers capable of handling sensitive discussions with top governmental leaders. The primary focus is on public services within the industry category, with the workshop venue set at The Boathouse, Silversands, Aberdour, Fife.

Procurement Information

Over the past 12 months, the Scottish Government Executive Team has undergone significant change, with five new appointments since April 2025. This programme is designed to accelerate collective effectiveness, strengthen relationships, and create space for a strategic conversation that goes beyond the constraints of the weekly Executive Team agenda. The intent is to ensure the Executive Team operates as a cohesive, trusted leadership group, equipped to lead the organisation through a period of heightened uncertainty and complexity. It is therefore imperative that the provider already be established as a trusted interlocutor, given need to work quickly and to hold space for highly sensitive discussions between SG most senior leaders.
