This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the education and training sector, particularly those focused on innovative, collaborative approaches to entrepreneurship. Companies with experience in residential educational programmes, especially those catering to high-growth entrepreneurs, will find themselves well-positioned to compete in this procurement. The competitive bidding process reflects the drive to encourage small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and firms looking to engage in innovative educational initiatives are particularly encouraged to participate.

## Notice

The Scotland Can Do SCALE (SCALE) programme is an inclusive, high growth entrepreneurial education initiative led by three government agencies, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Funding Council (the Partners) with strong backing from the Scottish Government. Drawing on world leading educators and specialists, it is a highly ambitious and innovative programme which will place Scotland as a leader in innovation driven entrepreneurship. On behalf of the Partners, HIE requires a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to deliver a residential Scotland Can Do SCALE Summer School, whilst offering best value in the expenditure of public funds. There are two parts to the residential Summer School which will be held in central Scotland. Recruitment to both parts of the Summer School will be managed by the SCALE Partners through a pan-Scotland selection process.
