## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by West Lothian College, focuses on acquiring Associate Trainer services for accredited qualifications in ICT, soft skills, and management development. This tender fell under the specialist training services category and was classified as a service procurement. The award was successfully completed on 27 January 2021 and involved a total contract value of £460,000.
