## Summary

The City of Edinburgh Council is conducting an open framework agreement for learning and development services, a tender labelled CT0171. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, having initiated on 24th January 2020, with the closing date for submission being 31st January 2019. This agreement allows partner authorities, including the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body and various councils across Scotland, to run mini-competitions for training services in multiple categories across the UK regions. The procurement method employed is open, allowing a wide array of suppliers to participate in the bidding process.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in training services across various sectors such as community safety, health and social care, and information technology.

The framework allows multiple providers, enhancing the likelihood of repeated contracts and engagements for successful bidders, making it a valuable opportunity for past suppliers to expand their reach and contribute to essential public services.
