PCS Notice - Website Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves the Scottish Government, specifically its Marine Directorate, which has awarded a contract for the provision of web-based training on Red Hat Software. This process is concluded at the award stage, with significant dates including the contract signing on 10th March 2026. The training will take place in Edinburgh, under the industry category of General Public Services. The procurement method was limited due to technical reasons, with an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract is valued at £5,251.93 GBP.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses specialising in IT training and software solutions, particularly those with expertise in Red Hat Software. While the contract is awarded to Computacenter due to the exclusive licensing of the software, similar businesses may grow by developing niche training services or expanding into other software platforms. Companies that can position themselves as preferred suppliers for proprietary software training or consultation could leverage this market to enhance their business presence and expand their client base within governmental projects.
