Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Enterprise is seeking a single supplier to provide pitching support services through a framework agreement. The support is intended to help Scottish Enterprise deliver its purpose of promoting sustainable economic growth, creating better jobs and supporting shared wealth and wellbeing. The requirement is for services, classified as education and training services (CPV 80500000). The framework covers Scotland. Suppliers may bid as a consortium or joint venture, but the nominated lead organisation and all members would enter the contract together and share joint and several liability. The contract also includes community benefits, with details set out in the tender documents.

Scottish Enterprise invited offers through an open procedure for a single-supplier framework. The tender submission deadline was 2 November 2026 at 11:00. The framework was anticipated to start in November 2026, run initially for 12 months and include an option for one further 12-month extension. Its stated value is £157,000. Bids must be submitted electronically in English, and variants are not allowed. The buyer requires bidders to provide the names and qualifications of staff assigned to the work. Economic selection criteria are set out in the online SPD module. The tender also requires a climate change plan template. The framework is covered by the Government Procurement Agreement.

This opportunity is suited to a supplier able to deliver pitching support services and provide appropriately qualified staff, with capacity to serve Scottish Enterprise across Scotland. The buyer intends to appoint only one framework supplier, so bidders should be prepared to meet the full requirement rather than rely on a multi-supplier framework. Consortium and joint-venture bids are permitted, which may help businesses combine relevant expertise or delivery capacity; the nominated lead and all consortium members would take joint and several responsibility for the contract. Bidders must complete a climate change plan template, and community benefits form part of the requirement. Suppliers relying on other organisations’ capacity must provide separate SPD responses for those entities; proposed subcontractors also have SPD self-declaration requirements.
