Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Manual Handling and Safe Use of Ladders Training" has been concluded by the National Records of Scotland, a national authority, located in Edinburgh. This training falls under the public records industry category and is classified within CPV code 35113300. The contract award date was 6th July 2026, following the completion of the tender phase, which was carried out using a limited procurement method. The process involved awarding the contract without prior publication of a call for competition, fitting within a direct award procedure under framework RM6219 for learning and development services.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses that specialise in training services, particularly those with expertise in manual handling and ladder usage. Large-scale training providers, similar to Premier Partnership, who was awarded the contract, are well-suited to compete in such procurements, as they can meet the specific training needs of staff effectively. Companies looking to expand their services in public sector training could consider leveraging similar opportunities to grow their business footprint within the government sector.
