PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award
Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Government procured a technical training programme, a professional training service intended to develop technical skills. The requirement is described at programme level, without further detail on the subject areas, training format or intended participants. The buying organisation is the Scottish Government, and the supplier named in the award is Fast Lane Consulting & Education Services, based in Marlow. The procurement’s classification is technical training services. The source describes the programme as the item being purchased, but does not set out a more detailed curriculum, delivery model or location for the training. This is relevant to providers of technical training programmes, particularly those able to deliver services for a Scottish Government requirement.

The procurement has been awarded to Fast Lane Consulting & Education Services, and the contract is recorded as active. The award value is £49,999. The award was made on 10 July 2026, the same date the contract was signed. The stated tender period ran from 10 July 2026 to 10 June 2027. The process is described as a quick quote award. One bid was recorded. The available process information identifies the technical training programme as the requirement, but does not provide an evaluation breakdown or additional selection criteria. No lots are identified. The award and contract are associated with the same supplier and award value; there is no separate contract value or contract end date stated.

This award shows that the Scottish Government buys technical training as a defined programme rather than an individual training item. A potential competitor should be able to scope and deliver a complete technical training programme, and to respond effectively to a quick-quote route. The selected supplier is Fast Lane Consulting & Education Services, indicating that a specialist training and education provider was chosen for this requirement. The recorded single bid suggests that only one bid was captured in the process; it does not establish how many suppliers were approached. The requirement is modest in scale compared with large multi-lot programmes, so providers able to deliver a focused programme without the overheads of a large-scale training contract may find this type of work relevant when the same requirement returns to market.
