Summary of the contracting process

Crown Estate Scotland is seeking a training provider to support its existing Learning and Development Team. The provider will help design, develop and deliver the Management Essentials training programme, aimed at building management capability. This is a professional training and learning-and-development service, classified under CPV 80500000. The work is for Crown Estate Scotland and is associated with Edinburgh. The successful provider will work alongside the existing internal team rather than replace it, contributing delivery expertise and programme development capability. The requirement is arranged as a single lot and concerns the provision of a complete delivery partner service for the Management Essentials programme, from design and development through to training delivery.

The procurement has reached tender: Crown Estate Scotland invited offers through an open procedure, with electronic submission. The tender deadline is 16 October 2026 at 12:00, followed by the planned award period starting on 23 October 2026 at 12:00; bids are opened at that time. The estimated value is £160,000 GBP. The contract period is 1,440 days, with renewal available and the renewal description stating November 2030. Bids must remain valid for 60 days, variants are not allowed, and a document fee applies. Evaluation uses economic and technical selection criteria, with the relevant requirements included in the SPD module. Submissions must be in English.

This opportunity suits established training providers and management-development consultancies able to design, develop and deliver structured management training. Suppliers should be capable of working collaboratively with an existing public-sector Learning and Development Team and of providing a delivery model that supports the Management Essentials programme from development through implementation. The requirement calls for both economic and technical suitability, with the relevant selection criteria set out in the SPD module, so bidders should be prepared to demonstrate appropriate financial standing, technical competence and relevant organisational capability. Providers able to resource a sustained programme over a multi-year service period, manage delivery alongside internal stakeholders and comply with public-sector tendering requirements are likely to be best placed. Subcontracting provisions apply.
