## Summary

The Procurement, Commercial and Sustainable Training Framework is spearheaded by the Scottish Government, aiming to enhance the professionalisation of public procurement in Scotland. This framework targets education and training services within the services industry category and is primarily located in the UKM region. The procurement process follows an open procedure, planned to support the Scottish Ministers and other public bodies with tailored learning and development opportunities. The process has moved through stages from planning to tender issuance and award decision, although the most recent status marks the framework as cancelled as of March 2026. Key dates included planning in August 2025 and tender updates in November 2025, with no current deadlines for submission.

This framework represents a significant opportunity for businesses specializing in education and training services, particularly those with expertise in procurement, commercial skills, and sustainable practices. Businesses with capabilities in delivering flexible and remote learning methods, such as courses, workshops, and eLearning packages, could find lucrative growth potential. Companies familiar with Scottish procurement legislation and policies stand to benefit greatly by contributing tailored services that align with the national standards and strategic goals. The initiative to professionalise procurement in Scotland offers opportunities for providers to develop and deliver innovative training solutions, ultimately supporting the development of procurement competencies across various competency levels.
