PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award
Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured delivery of the full Business and Administration Modern Apprenticeship qualification. The requirement covered registering apprentices, delivering the training and certifying completion, including the required Scottish Vocational Qualification (SVQ) and Core Skills, with enhancement where appropriate. This is vocational training and apprenticeship provision, rather than a general business administration service. The work is for the Council; Perth is its stated location. The requirement was sized around a maximum of 15 participating apprentices, so providers needed to support a cohort rather than a single learner.

The procurement has been awarded to Quest (Scotland) Ltd. The award value is £17,250, calculated on the core SVQ course plus two Core Skills for a maximum of 15 participants. Two bids were recorded. The contract is listed as active and signed on 10 August 2026. The available process information does not give an award date, a contract delivery period, a procurement method or evaluation criteria, so these cannot be described. The award confirms that the Council selected a supplier for this training requirement; it does not establish the duration of the engagement or when a comparable requirement might next be considered.

For providers of apprenticeship and vocational training, this award is evidence of a defined Council requirement for end-to-end delivery of a Business and Administration Modern Apprenticeship: apprentice registration, teaching and qualification certification. A credible competitor would need to operate as an approved Modern Apprentice centre and be able to deliver the complete qualification, including its SVQ and Core Skills, with suitable enhancement provision where required. The cohort size indicates a need to accommodate up to 15 learners. Providers able to organise the full learner journey and deliver the qualification components together are more directly aligned with this buyer’s requirement than suppliers offering isolated training modules.
