## Summary

The public procurement process is being conducted by the Scottish Police Authority, which is focused on the upcoming tender titled "Introduction to PCS and the ESPD Training Event - Police Scotland." This tender, part of the public order and safety industry, is situated within Scotland, specifically Glasgow and surrounding areas. Currently, the procurement is in the planning stage, with key training events scheduled for 10 December 2019, 14 January 2020, and 22 January 2020, leading up to the anticipated release of the tender in January 2020. The training is aimed at familiarising suppliers with the procurement process and the European Single Procurement Document (ESPD).

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), looking to engage in public contracts related to the transportation of deceased persons, a sensitive but essential service. Companies involved in logistics, healthcare transport, or funeral services would be particularly well-suited to compete in this procurement process. By attending the planned training events, these businesses can enhance their understanding of the tender requirements, improve their bidding strategies, and position themselves effectively for future contracts with public organisations like the Scottish Police Authority.
