Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council commissioned a multi-provider framework for vocational training and assessment for Care at Home staff employed by Renfrewshire Health and Social Care Partnership. The courses cover Scottish Credit and Qualifications Framework (SCQF) Level 6, 7 and 9 Social Services and Healthcare; Level 7 Professional Development Award in Health and Social Care Supervision; and Level 10 Care Services Leadership and Management. The training supports staff who must be registered with the Scottish Social Services Council. Providers may cover one or more course areas. Face-to-face training must take place at a venue in a central area of Renfrewshire that is easily accessible by public transport.

The procurement is complete: a ranked framework was established through an open procedure, with a maximum of three providers appointed to each lot. Rewards Training Recruitment Consultancy, City of Glasgow College and Moray Management were appointed to the Level 6, Level 7 and Level 9 Social Services and Healthcare lots, and to the Level 10 Care Services Leadership and Management lot. Glasgow Clyde College joined Rewards Training Recruitment Consultancy on the Level 7 supervision award lot. Contract values are £80,000, £30,000, £20,000, £10,000 and £20,000 respectively. Contracts were signed on 10 September 2026; each lot has a two-year contract period. The tender deadline was 17 July 2026. The framework was evaluated against suitability, financial and technical requirements; suppliers could apply for multiple lots.

This framework demonstrates demand from Renfrewshire Council for accredited vocational training and assessment spanning care qualifications, supervision and leadership. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need to be registered as a Qualifications Scotland Assessment Centre and able to deliver and assess the relevant SVQ courses. They would also need to meet the applicable safeguarding and disclosure requirements under the PVG Act and Disclosure (Scotland) Act. Financial credibility is important: required cover includes employers’ liability, public liability and professional indemnity insurance, with motor insurance where vehicles are used. The stated minimum cover is £10 million for employers’ liability, £5 million for public liability and £1 million for professional indemnity. The Council’s financial stability assessment uses a Dun & Bradstreet failure score threshold, with audited accounts potentially considered where the score is below the threshold or unavailable. Face-to-face delivery requires an accessible central Renfrewshire venue.
