Summary of the contracting process

The Common Services Agency, commonly known as Public Services Delivery Scotland (PSD Scotland), has initiated a public procurement process titled "C002196 Board Development Communications session." This initiative is categorised under the health industry and addresses the needs within the UKM region, particularly in Edinburgh. The procurement is in the tender stage, with an open procurement method inviting electronic submissions. Key deadlines include the tender period closing on 10 July 2026, followed by a potential contract start date on 27 July 2026. The initiative seeks to secure services valued at £90,000 aimed at developing communication sessions for the Board Development Team, with sessions expected in October, November, and March each financial year.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training, communication, and professional development services. Companies with experience in providing structured and bespoke communication training to healthcare or public service teams are well-suited to compete. Given the open procurement procedure, this project invites wide participation, offering a promising avenue for businesses to expand their portfolio in the public sector, particularly those already operating within the health services framework.
