## Summary

South Lanarkshire Council is currently involved in a procurement process titled "SDP Framework for Public Sector Procurement Training." This tender, which falls under the services industry category, aims to develop a framework for training small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in various aspects of public procurement. The procurement is in the award stage, with the contract signed on 26th March 2018. The framework is divided into four geographical lots covering North, Central, and South Scotland, as well as webinars available throughout Scotland. Key dates associated with this tender include a submission deadline that previously occurred on 27th October 2017, and the award decision date on 26th March 2018.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in training and consultancy, particularly those with expertise in public sector procurement processes. Small and medium-sized enterprises with a track record in delivering training, especially in the context of Scottish procurement regulations and platforms like Public Contracts Scotland, would be well-suited to compete for this framework. With a framework agreement that encourages competition across various lots, there is potential for multiple businesses to engage and establish long-term relationships with the procurement authority.
