Summary of the contracting process

Creative Scotland is seeking a curriculum programme co-ordinator to support its curriculum programmes. The procurement is for services, classified under business and management consultancy and related services (CPV 79000000). The stated description directs suppliers to a tender brief for the detailed duties and scope. Creative Scotland is the buying organisation, based in Edinburgh. The delivery location is identified as Scotland. The work is presented as a single requirement rather than several separately described service packages, so it is suited to suppliers able to provide curriculum programme co-ordination as a complete service. The brief is the source for understanding the precise responsibilities and expected outputs before deciding whether the requirement matches a supplier’s education, cultural-sector or programme-management expertise.

Creative Scotland invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement reached the tender stage, and bids were to be submitted electronically. The buyer set the submission deadline for 15 October 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the stated bid-opening time is the same. The contract period is 9 November 2026 to 31 January 2028. The project budget range is £37,500 to £42,000 excluding VAT. The requirement is arranged as one lot, with no option to renew or make additional purchases and no variant bids permitted. English is the stated submission language. The supplied procurement details do not set out an evaluation basis, so suppliers should consult the tender brief for how offers will be assessed and for the full service requirements.

This opportunity is most relevant to a supplier with practical experience co-ordinating curriculum programmes and the capacity to deliver the work as a single service for Creative Scotland. Programme-management skills, the ability to organise curriculum activity, and experience working with relevant education or cultural-sector stakeholders are likely to be useful in responding to the stated role, but the detailed brief should guide the bid. The budget and contract span indicate a relatively focused, time-limited assignment rather than a large multi-lot programme. Suppliers should consider whether they can provide the required co-ordination over the full contract period and whether their relevant track record demonstrates delivery of comparable curriculum work. The available details do not establish a required accreditation or particular minimum experience threshold.
