Summary of the contracting process

The University of Glasgow procured the development and delivery of continuing professional development (CPD) courses. This is an education and training service, covering the creation of course content and its delivery to learners, under CPV 80500000 (training services). The work is to be delivered in Glasgow. The requirement was a single service package for the University of Glasgow, an education-sector public body. The selected provider is the Royal Institute of Navigation, a London-based small and medium-sized enterprise. The arrangement includes electronic ordering and payment, with electronic invoicing permitted. This opportunity is therefore relevant to organisations that design and deliver structured professional development or continuing education, particularly those able to operate in partnership with a university and provide both course-development expertise and teaching or training delivery.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to the Royal Institute of Navigation on 19 June 2026. The contract was signed on 18 August 2026 and is active. The award covers one lot, with a contract period of up to four years, stated as 1,440 days. The awarded contract value is £77,500. The University used an open procedure, with bids submitted electronically in English; variants were not allowed and there was no renewal or option period. The tender submission deadline and bid opening were both 19 June 2026 at 12:00. Evaluation required public liability, employer’s liability and professional indemnity insurance, each with £5 million cover, plus at least three years of accounts and annual turnover of £160,000. One bid was received, from an SME.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined university demand for outsourced CPD course development and delivery at a modest, fixed scale. A credible competitor would need to combine instructional design with the ability to deliver professional training, work in an academic environment and support the buyer’s electronic ordering, payment and invoicing arrangements. The requirement favoured an established organisation able to evidence at least three years of financial accounts and annual turnover of £160,000. Robust risk cover was also central: public liability, employer’s liability and professional indemnity insurance each needed a £5 million limit. Suppliers should therefore be able to show relevant course-development and delivery experience, reliable quality and stakeholder-management processes, sound finances, appropriate insurance and capacity to provide the complete service rather than only one element.
