Summary of the contracting process

The Scottish Legal Aid Board is seeking a training provider to design and deliver bespoke neurodiversity awareness and inclusion training for its managers and employees. The programme is intended to improve understanding of neurodiversity, encourage inclusive working practices, and help staff build the knowledge, skills and confidence to create a supportive workplace. Training must be practical and engaging, with a focus on positive workplace outcomes. This is a staff development and workplace inclusion service, delivered for the Board in Edinburgh and the wider Scottish regions identified for delivery.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure. The procurement is for one lot, with bids to be submitted electronically in English; alternative bids are not allowed. The submission deadline was 5 November 2026 at 12:00, with bid opening scheduled for the same time. The stated contract duration is 180 days, and bids must remain valid for 90 days after the submission deadline. A fee applies for access to the tender documents. The published information gives no estimated contract value or award criteria, so suppliers should consult the tender materials for the detailed requirements and evaluation basis. Electronic payment and ordering are supported, and electronic invoicing is permitted.

This opportunity is suited to training providers with demonstrated experience designing and delivering workplace learning on neurodiversity, disability inclusion or related people-management topics. Suppliers will need to translate the subject into practical, engaging sessions that work for both managers and employees, and that build confidence as well as awareness. Capability in adapting content to organisational needs and supporting inclusive working practices is particularly relevant. The delivery requirement is a focused, time-limited programme for a public-sector workforce, rather than a broad supply of goods or a construction project. Providers able to evidence successful training outcomes and to deliver across the stated Scottish locations are likely to be well placed. The tender materials also include data-protection and cyber-security terms for services.
