Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Police Authority has announced a planned procurement process for developing a National Training Framework aimed at enhancing the personal and specialist training of Police Scotland's officers and staff. This framework, set to cover a broad array of training needs including Health and Safety, Leadership, and Firearms Training, will be delivered across various police premises in Scotland. The procurement is currently at the planning stage, with a future notice date scheduled for 14th September 2026 and introductory meetings slated for 29th and 30th July 2026. The total value of the project is estimated at £1,000,000, focusing on services as the main procurement category and classified under CPV code 80000000.

This procurement offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in educational and training services, particularly those experienced in developing comprehensive training programmes for public sector organisations. Companies skilled in delivering health and safety, legal, and specialist training are well-suited to participate. Engaging in this tender could strengthen relationships with a significant public sector authority and enhance the chosen supplier's profile in the training industry. Interested suppliers can attend the planned Webex meetings to gain insights into the framework's vision, timelines, and bidding procedures, making it an inclusive opportunity for both new and existing suppliers of Police Scotland.
