## Summary

The Skills Development Scotland Co. Limited, located in Glasgow, is currently engaged in a public procurement process titled "Provision of Standards and Frameworks." This initiative falls under the education category and covers several occupational groupings, with the aim of developing National Occupational Standards and Frameworks for the Devolved Administrations of Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales. The procurement is at the completed stage, having used an open procedure and involved multiple lots with an overall contract value estimated at £185,000. Key milestones include a submission deadline that closed on 18th July 2018 and award recommendations made shortly thereafter.

This procurement presents several opportunities for businesses specialising in education, training, and consultancy services, particularly those experienced in developing standards and frameworks. Companies that provide support for Modern Apprenticeships or possess expertise in educational qualifications—such as National Occupational Standards—will be well-positioned to compete for contracts. With several notable contracts awarded to large organisations including CLD Standards Council Scotland, Netherlee Consulting Ltd, and Instructus Group, potential suppliers should leverage this framework to establish long-term partnerships and expand their service offerings within the education sector.

## Notice

Skills Development Scotland has a requirement to procure a single supplier for each Occupational grouping lot as detailed within the documentation for the development of National Occupational Standards and Frameworks. SDS is working on behalf of the Devolved Administrations of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.
