## Summary

The procurement process for the "Rural Business Bootcamp" organised by THE OPEN UNIVERSITY has concluded with the award of the contract. This public authority, part of the sub-central government sector, sought the delivery of a two-day bootcamp located at the SRUC Barony Campus, Edinburgh. The procurement, identified under ID OUPA11542, falls into the services category with a specific focus on training services. It utilised a direct procurement method due to its below-threshold status, proceeding without competition. The tender was initiated with a contract signing date on 16th June 2025, and the active contract period spanned from 23rd to 30th June 2025, with a total value of £33,000 gross.

This opportunity presented by THE OPEN UNIVERSITY can be highly advantageous for businesses involved in the services and training sector, particularly those with an interest in rural business development. The tailor-made nature of the bootcamp offers significant growth potential for businesses specialising in educational and professional development services. Although this specific contract was executed directly with SRUC, a large-scale supplier based in Edinburgh, businesses with capabilities in delivering similar projects may find future opportunities by staying informed about potential public sector needs in training services across the UK.
